Exactly, do people not grasp the idea that BMW makes some of the finest engines in all of the world? Even the BMW engines that are not in the top=ten list are still made with exceptional tolerances and clean design. My vette after only 3k miles had alot of oil shavings in the oil pan. You won't get that with 15k miles on a BMW.
That said, not all engines are built the same. I paid for my first oil "early" oil-change. because I feel the first one is the most important. But zI'm anal over such things.
BTW BMW offered to use my free oil change instead... but I told them you can use that in about 6k miles. After that I feel the 15k oil change is fine. The engine is broke in and the internal wear patterns are established.
