      Hi Wazif ,

      Car's been amazing till now. Drives like a dream :love: . Did a basic engine oil change & ac filter replacement at AGMC under the service contract last week.

      Couple of questions I have :

      1. Is the Engine Oil change every 30k ? The iDrive says the next oil change is after 30k so a little confused.
      2. I found out I will have to replace the front lower arm assembly & front control bushings (which is cracked) during the pre-purchase inspection I did. What's the difference between replacing it with a genuine part & an OEM part. Any recommendation where I can get it done outside AGMC?

        Hi Irfan,

        Regarding your queries:

        1. Is the Engine Oil change every 30k ? The iDrive says the next oil change is after 30k so a little confused.
        Those are the old BMW service intervals. Recommend you NOT to stick by those. Considering the weather conditions here in the UAE, you are safer changing the oil between 8000-10000 km intervals. Thats what i do for my ///Ms. There are folks here who change them at 5k intervals as well, but that i feel is overkill. For your engine, 8k-10k should be absolutely fine.

        2. I found out I will have to replace the front lower arm assembly & front control bushings (which is cracked) during the pre-purchase inspection I did. What's the difference between replacing it with a genuine part & an OEM part. Any recommendation where I can get it done outside AGMC?
