Timeline to change the oil seems to be a big question for the BMW. It definitely makes you wonder going 15K to change oil.
If this helps, I bought a new VW beetle in May (no riding comparision but a great little car) and VW recommends not changing the oil for the first 5K and then every 10K.
Now, like most of us, I was suspect when VW refused to change the oil before 5K and went to my local mechanic for an oil change at 3,500. He confirmed, DO NOT change the oil in the VW for the first 5K. Like, BMW, VW is using synthetic oil and requires the oil to remain in for the entire 5K to for break in purposes.
So, I too am wonderning do I go all the way to 15K are change early. We do have warranties but it still makes you wonder.
