Yes, I drive hard and believe it needs to be changed every 7,500 miles. | 81 | 80.20% | |
No, don't need to waste the $125 DIY or $200+ at the dealer. | 20 | 19.80% | |

I change mine at 7.5k. Always done that on all my BMW's and their engines have been bullet proof.

Dealership will charge you for oil changes between intervals. So yes, they will give you a hard time. Oil is 10w 60. Very hard to find outside of dealerships.
