Don't know.
Both those oils should be interchangeable, but if you're really worried shoot Axel an email. Also you can ring Opie Oils and explain to them what car it is, how you use it etc and they will advise.
I run a 5w30 in place of a 0w30. I get absolutely no issues from the B5 E60, but I do switch it out annually. Whatever you do ignore the service indicator, the long service intervals have always caused issues!
