Wrong oil???

Hi guys.
Sorry that my first post is begging for information but ive just picked up my first X5 4.6 IS and it seems to be leaking oil from somewhere which i need to take to a garage to be investigated and fixed.
The main reason im here asking for advice is that i asked the previous owner what grade of oil he has been using and he told me 10/60 fully synthetic.
I bought some 10/60 Castrol Edge which is recommended for BMW engines on the bottle but from reading on here, it looks like it should actually be 0/30 or 5/30 fully synthetic.
Am i right in believing that ive got the wrong oil in the car?
Thanks,
Gareth.
