: I have 9000 miles on my 2000 540 and have yet to have my first oil change. According to the service light, I am schedule for my first at ~15000. Do you follow the BMW computer recommendation or get it done more frequently -- every 7500 miles? The recent concern about the faulty filters has me a bit concerned. : The extended period between the oil changes is very convenient -- but I don't want to sacrifice the life of my car.
But I do an extra change between service intervals. I did purchase my car and will likely keep it for a while.
