For Those Guy Who Have Change Thier Oil At 25oo Or So...was There Any Particles In Your Filter?

Engine manufacturing and oil & filter technology has changed dramatically since the "old" days of short cycle oil/filter changes. That said, if you really really really felt the need to do something at 2K miles I'd change the oil filter (only) - since any debris left over during the manufacturing process would be stopped there; the high quality oil in your BMW won't "wear out" in 2K miles. At most you may need to add (less than) a quart of oil and I STRONGLY recommend you buy that at your BMW service center so you don't mix the good stuff with some lesser lubricant. Also, DO NOT RESET your iDrive service indicator whenever you do a short mileage oil service.
