@ Bmw's 1 200 e46 and 1 07 e91, have never done anything other than BMW recommended changes. REsults;
e-46 160,000 miles have never used any oil or any engine problems e-91 44,000 miles have used no oil or had any problems Why do you think BMW does not want you to change your oil more often? IT IS NOT NECESSARY! Engines/oils are very different today, yet some people insist on using a 1950's/60's approach to car maintenance! |

I use diesel #2. Any other oil would void the warranty.

Hey guys so I gotta do my oil change this weekend coming up. I was thinking of picking up Mobil 1 0w-40 with a mann filter. They got a special right now 5 quarts with filter for $35. Do you guys recommend Mobil 1?

Offering this 'great' maintenance plan, then creating a schedule where the dealer service hardly ever occurs due to mileage settings - saves BMW a lot of $$. They basically have the attitude that everyone is gonna trade-in or get rid of their cars at 3-5 yrs, so why bother maintaining it - just leave it for the next guy... This includes their 'generous' change plan on their transmissions and differentials. So, if you're the kind of person that likes to just buy a car, keep it a couple years, never pay for any maintenance or perform ANY on it personally, and then get rid of it - the BMW Maintenance Plan is for you I would never even think of buying a newer used BMW with high mileage unless there was definite proof of owner maintenance above & beyond the factory maintenance. I'll continue to change my oil every 7000 mi (whether dealer free or myself) thank you...

2. Mobil 1 is expensive. I doubt that the special you listed will apply to it, especially if you include a Mann filter. |
