For anyone experiencing this try and lock the car, walk away remove all phones or devices from the area and then try again. I've found sometimes when the keys are in a pocket behind phones that the phones almost seem to block or imped the signal. Worth a shot before heading to the dealer.
Water...it legitimately had the consistency, sound, and splashing characteristic of brown water.
Take it with a grain of salt as I'm just another opinion on the internet, but with a high degree of confidence I say that the idle sounds smoother (quieter) and the oil weight simply inspires more...
I'm certain after seeing what hot 0w-20 looks like being drained that 5w30 is the correct weight oil for this vehicle.

Just clean it up with some metal polish and a shop rag.
I had this discussion with a friend of mine who has been working on BMWs in high performance applications for 20 years, and he said when it gets hot and you push the car, 0w20 is simply too thin.
For the grocery drivers with no intent to ever mod or track you will be fine with 0w20.
