My BMW service manager is German, and has been servicing BMWs since the first BMW dealership in Vancouver BC was established. This 750iL is my 7th BMW since 1986, so having dealt with this person for 16 years, yes, I do have faith and trust in him.


lease? Sounds like the second!

With synthetic, I change mine every 5K, 1200 miles to start with.


I have a 750iL with synthetic oil, which I believe the M5s also come with. MY BMW dealer service manager who I have great trust in said that the first oil change doesn't need to be done until the service lights indicate it; in my case at 14,000 miles. As I was leasing the car, it didn't matter to me, but when I get my M5 which I hope to keep for a while, I will pay for a change at 2000, and at 10000 mile intervals, whether BMW pay or not.


I posted this on 2/28, but got no response: Are BMW dealers required to change oil & filter on M5's FREE at one year intervals if the service indicator lights don't indicate the need for service? I have a '00 with only 5300 miles purchased 1/00, and only one green light is out.
Thanks.
Bob
