Don't let BMW fool you that you can only use their own oil...

I ordered a 10 pack of filters from germanfilters.com and they shipped em very fast for a great price (about $40 shipped within 2-3 days). Both my 525i and Z4 take the same filter.
This is an M S54 engines hes talking about,

Please let us all know which Wal-Mart it is you find 10w60 oil in please
I'll give you a hint, The Wal-Mart is called "Your Dealer"

This oil Castrol TWS Motorsport 10w60 is required for your M engine and is only available at the dealer (and a few BMW specific places online)

Prices vary from $9 to $13 a liter, (possibly more depending on dealer)
You need 6 bottles for the change but only use 5.5L

once again, Liters, Not quarts
