There is no such thing as too often oil changes damaging an engine. The reverse is not true.

3"imho there’s no need to do oil & filter changes at 5k miles or so, yeah ok it won’t do any harm but I also don’t believe it’ll improve the longevity of the engine"

I'll take fresh oil over an opinion.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but brand new fresh oil is better than 5,000 mile oil, maybe marginally, but like I said, it can't hurt.
1, yes it’s your money, do what u want with it.

2, Yes not changing the oil often enough could damage a engine…eventually although are BMW condition based oil changes to infrequent? My experience with the e92 & having covered over 80,000 miles in it leads me to believe that they aren’t.

3, Yes, an opinion based on BMW Engineers , oil companies research & development & my own experience, which I’d take over internet rumours.

Not trying to be a smart arse either & your right it can’t hurt the engine, just the planet & your wallet
