I did oil change at every 6000 - 7000 KM (not miles) and everything that was needed or not needed way ahead of BMW service book, overly maintained (always at the same dealer since day one with no exception) and never abused. At 80,015 km and 7 years my engine blew. The chain snapped (plastic tensioners broke in pieces) and I was forced to buy a brand new engine in value of 27,000 dollars (yep, you read that correct). Now they are facing a class action suit for this as they knew but never issued a recall. Just saying...
