Hi All,

I recall my first oil service at about 6 months after getting my car. Same, according to my SA that time, he said nowadays no need to change that often, but I insisted so it was done. Under warranty, so FOC.

That 20K is only for FOC. Changing oil schedule is quite personal and I will choose to change once every 6000 to 8000km which I think it's worth for less than $1,000 spending on your over 600k car.

I do have the same problem. BMW won't change the oil for me and I went outside to change it. It is much better to change it every 3 months, or not more than 6 months.

you should change it else where for every around 6~8K, you can feel the car is starting "lup" if you dont change the oil |

I think so, as long as you insist, also you get along with your SA well enough. My SA has served me for 8+ years, so maybe... hehe

I think my family has to be served by few SAs in TKW, no special treatment. But I guess this policy (1 oil change only in 1st year) is new... |

Just go change the oil at any place.. you can buy the oil filter from Valiant if you think maybe the place does not have it..!! Change it!! I changed my E90 335i @5200kms also.. feels much better!!!

I cannot recall if my SA tells me there is a limit of once per year for oil change, but he did say no need to change "that frequent"... not sure due to less work under warranty
