Service intervals on Australian models.

Hi guys,

Picking up our F55 Cooper on Wednesday, I've noticed BMW is specifying 30k or 24mths between oil changes. Can anyone tell me what brand and spec of oil BMW uses and when did service intervals jump from 10-15k out to 30k.

Does anyone else have concerns about the extended time between oil changes or am I over thinking things? I've never owned a car where the manufacturer specifies 2 years, to me that seems such a long time.

Lots of people have commented on what seems an excessive interval between oil changes. Some have changed their oil after 1000 miles.

I am going to assume BMW knows what's best for their engines and follow the recommended interval.
