The one Saab discusses, a non-turbo 2.3, concludes that mixing oils is not advisable. Answer suggests 0w40 only or 0w40 winter with 15w50 in summer. I assume the 5w40 was not available at the time this question was asked.
Also says that M1 may be better than the Delvac1 for gasoline engines. Wonder if this applies to the new M1 5w40, which is reportedly based on Delvac1.

This one states the gained fuel efficiency on MB vehicles using the newer standards. Minimum 1% fuel savings from M1 15w50 to 5w40 or 0w40. Then says under newer standard that 0w40 gives 1.8% minimum savings. (Maybe a 0.5 mpg gain-based upon 30 mpg)
A Mobil representative said that the 0w40 was formulated specifically for Porsche and contains a proprietary additive developed with Porsche.
