How often should I change the oil in my BMW 2 Series?

I just purchased a pre-owned BMW 2 Series and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. How often should I change the oil to keep my car running smoothly?

The recommended interval for oil changes in a BMW 2 Series is every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

If you do a lot of city driving or have a sportier driving style, you may want to change the oil more frequently, around 7,500 miles or every 6 months.

It's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for oil changes, but if you want to be extra cautious, you can do it every 5,000 miles or every 3 months.
