A lot of us feel that the BMW service intervals are too long. Some of us are more picky and we want a break-in type of oil change within the first 2k miles like the M3. I think Nabil, Law, and I changed ours before 2k.

Im looking into Z4.... to be my dad's car coz he occasionaly comes over now to take care of my grandma's stuff...and he cant stand the stupid rental + high rates any more

Bluesummer · 10-15-2007, 02:44 PM

Z4s aren't really practical though. They are going to want to borrow your car when they need to pickup more people.

I would personally change the oil at every other 7,500k. Making you only have to pay for one every 15k miles since BMW pays the other.

Not sure what SMG it was, but SMG III is a lot better than SMG II (E46 M3).

well, when my mom do come over, we r going to drive the 335 for sure. Coz we found out even if we do go out as a family for a day. It is still better/ more convinent to drive 2 car. And my dad was thinking about buying a Xb and do some minor mods on it.... new Xb + mods will = to a used Z4... So Im trying to find a Z4 around $20k.... or I might have to go find out a leasing deal. Seems like with all the trunk money, even a new one wouldnt cost too much.

Mattscott · 10-15-2007, 02:51 PM

I need an appointment for oil change, and oil cooler retrofit. When they retrofit the oil cooler, they dont change the oil do they?
