i know bmw free warranty oil changes are every 10000km say i want to do it more frequent can i take it to dealership A to get an oil change at 10000km, then at 15000km take it to dealership B for a free oil change? can anyone confirm?

[F30MGM]

No won't work.

[adhrp]

If you mean two free oil changes, then no. But if you are paying for one of them mid-cycle, then sure you can.

No. Your car is in their system, and they can verify the info as to when your car is due for its next service. Look at your instrument panel when you start the car up--the dealer can verify that info.

You seriously thought they left that loophole open and you discovered it?

You also are not able to cash your paycheck 3 times by going to 3 different banks.

LOL!

unless if he means he will pay for the oil change at 10000 and then at 15000 take it in for the free one, i think that is doable.

Why would you need to go to a different dealer to do this? The first one won't take his $$? I mean, besides the fact that the OP wrote:

10,000km?
Not thinking of the 10,000mile oil service the USA gets?
In most other countries its around 30,000km between changes

Or the yearly/ 2 yearly change rather than km based ?

In Canada, at least for my car, its every 12,000 km. Had one performed at 11,500, the next one at around 23,000 km and the most recent one at around 36,000 km.

Why would it be at every 30,000 km in other countries ?
That seems too far appart between oil changes

Probably sulfur content in the gas is at least one factor.

Their marketing reminder system doesn't know. Their service system knows.

It's about every 15000 miles in California which probably is same for all 50 states. And yes the car is in system and you can't go dealer to dealer and get warrantied oil changes.

yeah i figured

[BMWZ4]

You can do as many oil changes in a year as you want, at 1 dealer. I pay for 1 mid year and the dealer covers the "free" one.

In most countries its every 30,000km or every 2 years.

USA and Canada gets oil changes every year

In the other markets things like microfilters are changed every service, while in the North American markets they only get changed every 2nd service due to the reduced interval

[jmg]

OP, just pay for it if you want more oil changes. They won't penalize you for it.

15K? i-Drive tells me basically at the one year mark (time wise)..most likely because the car only goes about 5500miles in a year . I'm sure if I drove it more, it'd pop up more.

My E90 was every 24,000km (also had 8 litres of oil in the crankcase). F30 seems to list it at 14,000km, but it prompted me at 7000km for the first oil change.
