How often should the oil be changed in a BMW 6 Series?

I recently bought a BMW 6 Series and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil in order to maintain optimal performance. The manual says every 10,000 miles but some people recommend every 5,000 miles. What do you recommend?

In my experience, it's always better to err on the side of caution and change the oil more frequently. Every 5,000 miles is a good rule of thumb for a high-performance car like the BMW 6 Series.

I work at a BMW dealership and we typically recommend changing the oil every 7,500 miles. However, if you drive aggressively or do a lot of city driving, it's best to stick with the 5,000 mile interval.

As a BMW owner myself, I've found that following the manual's recommendation of every 10,000 miles works just fine. Just make sure to use a high-quality synthetic oil and monitor your car's oil levels regularly.
