Dont buy in to the "must use BMW syn oil" unless you gonna play by there rules of 15k miles OCI's.

Sage advice. Thanks much.
BMW still includes free oil changes for 4 years, yes?
I plan to take full advantage of that.
In between their changes, I'll just throw in one of my own (without resetting the counter).
Will that work like it did in the e46 or have they gone so fancy that the counter will sense the fresh oil and automatically reset itself?
