It is recommended to use synthetic oil in your BMW 1 Series. This type of oil offers better protection and performance for your engine. As for how often it should be changed, it is best to follow the manufacturer's recommendation, which is usually every 10,000 miles or once a year.

I have been using conventional oil in my BMW 1 Series and have not had any issues. However, I have heard that synthetic oil is better for the engine in the long run. As for how often to change the oil, it really depends on your driving habits. If you do a lot of city driving or have a heavy foot, it's best to change it more frequently.

I have been using high mileage oil in my BMW 1 Series and have noticed it helps with the longevity of the engine. It is specifically formulated for vehicles with over 75,000 miles and provides extra protection for older engines. As for how often to change it, I would stick to the manufacturer's recommendation.
