How often should BMW engine oil be changed?

It's generally recommended to have your BMWs oil changed every 15,000km, or annually, depending on which comes first, but how often you change the oil for your BMW can vary based on the model, year, type of engine oil used, and driving conditions.

Driving habits also matter. For example, if you’re constantly stop-starting in the city traffic, or taking on mountainous regions in your SUV, then your BMW may require more frequent oil changes.
