I believe Ms have a break-in oil change and it is a scheduled maintenance. I don't know if this is because of tighter tolerances or some other reason but I suspect this preventative maintenance is worth the cost for bmw. They even change drivetrain fluids too.

This may further the debate unless you have a bmw engineer explain why for only Ms and not others.


Regardless you will hear stories of people not changing oil in years to those that change it with increase frequently beyond that bmw recommends, each have their good and bad stories.

It's a choice.
