For me, its either 4.5k - 6k miles, or every half a year whichever comes first. I love doing oil changes =D I always look forward to changing it that usually i change it too often too.
As one person said previously, short oil change interval might be a waste of money and oil (especially those who do oil changes based on analysis), but it is also a cheap peace of mind, so i totally dont mind doing it more often than not. Cheers

For the first 4 years, BMW did it once a year, which averages out to 8k. Since then I have done it about once a year, which probably also averages out to 8k. I don't track the car.
I think BMW's original 15k mile intervals were probably too long. I also think 5k is probably too short. |

Just got mine changed today. My fellas used Liquimoly in preference to Castrol. I've heard from 3 separate BMW service agents that Liquimoly is the best oil to use. I was strongly advised to ignore the car's service alert for engine oil changes and stick to 10,000km intervals.

Oil Change
I purchased a 2011 M3 E93 with 72K miles on it. Had an oil change at BMW just about two months ago and about 4500 miles later. I like to drive the car. I received a message yesterday indicating that I need to add a liter of oil. I found this strange that this would be required so soon.
Is this normal or should I begin to think that something is wrong with the car? |

adding 1L @ 4500 miles is not out of the ordinary. instead of adding oil, i tend to change my oil around 3500-4000 miles. Being as how i drive my car only about 4k miles a year, this equates to 1 oil change per year, and im more than happy with that interval.

I did mine at just about 1k. I changed it because it was 1.5 years since last oil change. Tells you how much I drive. They gave me back the original filter in a bag. The oil was still super clean.
I wont' make that mistake again. Waste of money. I just thought it wasn't a good idea to go that long even with the low miles. |
