Nope. The BMW recommended oil used to be the Castrol 10w60 TWS which is ONLY available through the dealer. I looked everywhere for 10W60... closest I found was Amsoil 10W40! big difference. However, I know BMW changed their recommendation later on and my service manual says my motor can use any of the following three oils: BMW High Performance 5W30 Synthetic Oil (part# 07 51 0 017 866), Mobil 1 5W30 Synthetic, or Mobil 1 5W40 Synthetic.
I'm unsure of what the vehicle has in it currently but I know my 02 CLK 55 AMG uses Mobil 1 5W40 Synthetic and it runs great. The Beast? No clue, seems the consensus is to use the TWS, even on the 2003.
