> Seems to me, BMW recommended 15,000 mile intervals on my 2002 MINI Cooper S. Being very old school, I just couldn’t wait that long. Usually did about 4000 miles or so. I always figured that you will never hurt your engine by changing your oil too soon…

Yah I was surprised when BMW told me that for my 328i. I figure Il just change it once a year since I don’t think Il ever hit close to 15,000 in a year.
