Go to http://www.bimrs.org/ to find a shop near you. you'll also get a discount as a BMWCCA member. after this, change oil every 7500 miles. If you love this car, treat it well. BMW dealers can still change the oil for free once a year. |
I agree 100%. I read somewhere that you better change the oil and trans fluid early, as quite a few metal shavings were in them.
Take it to BMW to do all the work. This is just my opinion and will do this. I will work 1 day of O.T. and BMW can do there job.
