I've leased many M cars and performed beyond factory Maintanance on all. Why would I want to drive a car (leased or bought) in anything less then perfect condition. Maybe this statement applies to Lexus or Mercedes lesees ....however, in my experience ....90% of M owners are of a specific breed of car enthusiast and care for their cars better then the average bear. |

I've been on this board a long time and generally the guys who are changing oil at 3000-4000 miles and bringing their own oil are owners. Not always the case - but generally the case.

Owned 3 and leased 3 Like I said, I believe that 90% of M owners/renters take care of their cars better then your average non-M, Audi, Mercedes, etc drivers. Ive always thought that its a better idea to do an extra oil change after break-in on the new M cars. Glad you pointed this out with factual data rather then opinion. As far as the oil used....that depends on how I use the car. My track and race cars I use special oils and fluids that are proven beyond the factory recommended. And for the street cars its usually Castrol Synthetic. |

In the past, when I used a pre-oiled air filter (K&N, aFe), usually I'd wipe it down with a auto shop paper towel before install them. I kind skip that on the BMC. Maybe that could be a cause, I can't be 100%.
