first oil change 740d?
hi guys, I'm coming close to the 2,000 km break in mark on the 740d and was wondering if anyone knows when the first oil change has to be made?
the sales rep from BMW told me I have to do it at 30,000 km but that seems like way too much. I never had a car where oil could be changed every 30k km..it seemed strange any thoughts?

It will tell you in iDrive when the oil needs changed. Your dealer won't be too far off the mark

Yeah 19000mls was on for first oil change in my E90 330d and F30 328i. My 330d drank 1L of oil in its first 1000mls but after that it was rather frugal up to its 80,000mls life with me. My 328i has used nothing at 1996mls.
