How often should the oil be changed in a BMW 1 Series?

I recently purchased a BMW 1 Series and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil in the engine?

As a general rule, it's recommended to change the oil every 7,500-10,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. However, it's important to check your owner's manual for the specific recommended interval for your particular model of BMW.

A good practice is to change your oil every 3,000 miles or every 3 months, especially if you do a lot of city driving or drive your vehicle in extreme temperatures. This will ensure your engine stays properly lubricated and running smoothly.

Some BMW models come equipped with an electronic oil monitor system, which will let you know when it's time to change the oil based on your driving habits and conditions. If your vehicle has this feature, trust the system and follow its recommendations.
