How often should I change the engine oil in my BMW 2 Series?

I recently bought a BMW 2 Series and I'm wondering how often I should change the engine oil. I've heard differing opinions and I want to make sure I'm taking good care of my car. Can you provide some guidance on this?

It is recommended by BMW that you change the engine oil in your 2 Series every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or harsh weather conditions, consider changing the oil more often, around every 7,500 miles.

It's always a good idea to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations based on your driving habits and environmental conditions.
