How often should the oil be changed on a BMW 2 Series?

I just bought a BMW 2 Series and I'm not sure how often I should change the oil. What is the recommended time interval or mileage to change the oil and keep the engine running smoothly?

It is recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

You can also check your car's onboard computer, which will give you a more accurate indication of when you need to change the oil. However, following the manufacturer's recommendation is always a safe bet.

If you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or frequently tow heavy loads, it's a good idea to change the oil more frequently, around every 7,500 miles.
