You didn't say what year or model BMW. The service intervals vary a huge amount between models a years. BMW built since the mid-1980s have a service indicator. You should change the oil when the service indicator tells you to. On BMWs that specify synthetic oil, you should change the oil when the indicator counts down to zero or once a year whichever comes first.
I was just wondering where a BMW falls in the catergory of miles.|||I worked for a service department that serviced BMW's. Currently the oil change intervals are every 15,000 miles. To date the longest lasting BMW I have seen had 200,000+ but it was a vehicle that needed maintenance often. It is all in how you drive your car and how you keep it.|||If you change the oil every 3000-5000 miles, a car can last up to 300,000 - 400,000 miles. This is not just true of Hondas and Toyotas. Of course, you need to take care of the car too and have it serviced once a year or so.|||Too many.|||I have a 89 with 166 thousand on it.
