Hello all...
I am new to this board and also a potential new owner of 2002 325i. I am in the market for one, but it seems it's hard to find one with manual tranny. Anyhow, I was wondering, why is that the oil change interval on a BMW is so long. My friend's 328i went without a oil change (according to the service indicator) for about 15,000 miles!!!! What happened to change oil every 3000mi. I know BMW specs call for synthetic oil ( I think...) but 15,000 miles seems ridiculous. Any opinions on this and how often do you guys change oil? Do you go by the service indicator on the computer?
PS: Can't wait for the new car....BMW's are truly the ultimate driving machines
