Do I Need to Change the Oil in My BMW 1 Series Every 12 Months?

I've heard that BMW recommends changing the oil in their vehicles every 12 months. Is this necessary for my 1 Series? I only drive about 6,000 miles per year. What could happen if I don't change the oil every year?

Yes, it is recommended to change the oil in your BMW 1 Series every 12 months even if you don't reach the mileage interval. This is because engine oil breaks down over time and can become less effective at lubricating and protecting your engine.
