There are no set intervals - the engine can tell the quality of the oil in them from a sensor in the engine, and until it degrades sufficiently, BMW will not change it. That being said, the oil is still golden. I'd love to know exactly what they use.

Could be Liqui Moly - very good oil. I run it in the ute and am very happy with it.
