Compare BMW 1 Series oil change quotes from specialist garages

Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

You should regularly arrange a car oil change to keep your engine in good condition. With modern lubricants, your car can usually go between 5,000 and 7,000 miles before it needs an engine oil change. Your owner's manual will tell you the recommended distance.

If a warning light tells you your car's oil is low, you should top it up or book an oil change as soon as you can. It's also worth considering booking an oil service that includes a complete oil and filter change. Replacing your filter is vital; your car's performance depends on the oil distribution in the engine.
