  > Why is the most expensive BMW listed less than the average cost of BMW? “In order to estimate annual maintenance costs, we found the amount spent on every two oil changes (as oil changes are generally done every six months).” The oil change interval on a BMW 328i (F30, the current model) is 10000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. For the model from ten years ago (E90), it's as indicated by the engine (with a starting interval of 30000 km, ~18000 miles) or every two years[0]. Hence, the total cost for oil changes will be a lot lower than estimated, and the actual repairs needed in that interval do not make up for that.
