Pretty much everyone i ask tell me to do one oil change myself between the free ones BMW does... I also bought the car better keep it in good shape !

Yea... BMW's OCI are too long for me too.

I first changed my oil at; 2,400 kms, then 5K kms, then 10K, then every 6K to 8K kms after that. I know that is probably over kill, but I sleep better at night! I think since our cars are DI and have long OCI's I would rather pay a little bit more (now) for more frequent oil changes than to have a lot of carbon buildup later on.
