Hi Maria, congratulations on your new BMW 1 Series! According to BMW, the oil should be changed every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or use your car for performance driving, you may want to consider changing it more frequently. It's always best to check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendations.

Hi Maria, it's recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or once a year in your BMW 1 Series. However, if you notice any changes in engine noise or performance, it's best to have it checked by a BMW technician. They can also advise you on the best oil change frequency for your specific driving habits.
