I change at 5k if I have money, but usually go 6-8k on mobil 1 synthetic.

And all this talk about the great german engineers.. Don't get me wrong, I'd pick up an M3 if I had the money, but every person I've seen with a beemer drives the dealer loaner more than their car...

Good point!

And what is it with those 1 or 2 posters here that brag about their mechanic, and know his name?

I've been driving Toyotas and Hondas for 20 years and I never knew the names of any of the mechanics, nor had any type of friendships with them. I didn't see them enough!

I use regular castrol and change at 4K. I think even a dino oil is ok as long as it is changed at reasonable intervals.

Castrol, A British oil? How 'bout a bailout for the American OIL Co's. On second thought ... ...

5K on dino. I'm under warranty. I've got synthetic for extended drains when my warranty runs out.
