Anyone tried thicker oil than OEM?

I have just changed my oil in my 2002 M5, and with the extra oil I bought (three 5 liter containers), now contemplating putting 10W-50 oil in my 2.5l 2004 X3. Other than the possible lowered fuel economy due to added resistance, what does everyone think about this approach?
