Sounds about right if you're on 25,000m and need an oil change in 2,000m (putting it at around 27,000m) and mine is at say 13,000m needing an oil change in 13,000m which is about 26,000m for me?
I'm guessing that when they fitted my new gearbox a few weeks back, they didn't need to change the engine oil. Don't think there's a dipstick on these F30's is there, otherwise I could take a look at the condition of the oil 
(Personally, for me 26k-27k sounds like way too long for a performance petrol engine, but then I'm old school). |
Ah, well that's good to know cheers for that! I think the diesels get a dipstick but I know us petrol lot don't. That said, couldn't be certain that the diesels get the good ol' fashioned dipstick. Was looking after a 2013 116d EfficientDynamics the other week and that had one - which was lovely.
I want a dipstick. What was wrong with the dipstick? It's an underrated feature.
