I suppose I could do the oil change myself, but I've never done one before. It looks easy enough, but do I really want to "practice" on a brand-new BMW? Alternatively, I could let the on-base shop do it for probably $40 - as long as I make sure they use the right oil and filter, that should be okay...maybe. Thoughts? What do you guys do for service?

I just had the break-in oil changed about 1500 miles done by these excellent folks for $110.00, including NC state tax. The use all BMW OME products, which were included with the price.

Not sure how that will translate to the Continent, but based upon my limited experiences it'll be more than €100. As mentioned, if you have the inclination and access to the facilities, you can do it yourself; there are some excellent DIY instructions here at 1Addicts.com.
