CBS indicated oil change

For those of you who have had their first oil change, can you share at what mileage you had it done?

Mine was at 13.5k km, inspection was also at same time. I have 5 years/80k package.

EDIT:

This was done at approx after 6 months ownership.

12.8k kms

This was carried out by BMW service centre at my car's 2nd annual inspection 2 weeks ago.
The CBS did not suggest the oil change. BMW have bowed to customer pressure for more frequent oil changes than what had been programmed into the computer.

Just take a look at the threads about this contentious issue.

Thats alarming. Mines on 24000 and still havent had one changed. The computer says in another 13000k before its due and I have my second service next friday.

How do u guys make the dealer perform an oil change without additional charge outside of whats already part of the corporate deal?

So the cbs is saying 37k for your first oil change?

That is way too long and I would be really uncomfortable with this interval.

From your post I am understanding that you've done 12.8k in 2 years?

In which case come 2nd annual inspection they are obliged to change the oil regardless of mileage.

Speak to the service advisor when you bring the car in for service (and hopefully a real one, not one of those ladies who know as much about cars as my wife - i.e. next to nothing). Regardless of what the CBS says, I think they will change your oil anyway rather than let it go to 30,000 km plus.

My first oil change was two months ago at around 22900 km. Car was 20 months old at that point and the CBS did prompt for an oil change.

You are sure you are still on the original oil?

My '13 335i is at 36100km after 11 months with 2900km left until oil change according to the CBS. I did an early oil/filter change at about 6000km after break in was over. I do a lot of freeway kms though, so that probably extends the service interval.
