I am not a forum hater, so I will give you my $0.02...that's all it's worth. I am old school, will always change oil myself at 4k, cheap insurance and it's a weekend pass time. I understand why many would challenge this routine, especially with the progression of synthetic oils. I do sincerely believe, however, you should not take your car from 0-15k on the factory fill. If it were my car, I would change it within the first 3k miles of ownership....then make the call if you want to simply rely on the service plan from there on out. Note, BMW covers an initial oil change on the 1M at 1,200 miles, and the motor is essentially a flashed N54....
