Slightly off topic but i did do an oil change today at 200 miles. Probably not necessary but i am anal about a new engine oil change. But i am glad i did as 1) there was no factory drain plug crush washer , 2) estimated torque value of the factory plug was way less than the recommended 22nm. (i do all my own wrenching on classic cars, motorcycles etc so i have a good feel for torque values). The plug was not loosy goosy, but perhaps only about half of the 22nm.
Question on BMW recommended oil changes, the M series (M2 etc) have an initial planned/recommended 1200 mile oil change service, the M240 with the same engine has a 1 year 10,000 mile for initial change. Why the difference??? same engine, i realize the M2 has more HP (bigger turbo?) but still its the same engine. anyone got any ideas from an engineering standpoint why the diff?
CORRECTION: Sorry my mistake, they are not the same engines...DUH.
