It has literally been years since I visited the forum. My 5er is still going strong after more than seven years. About to hit 60K miles!

Fast forward to Saturday/Sunday and still no audio. I get my work done out of town since labor is about half, so it will be months until it is remedied. Not cool. Figure I will blast them in the survey.
Also, does anyone know the oil change intervals for the N52? My computer is saying 6,000 miles and it's usually double that. The car is about to turn 60,000..

Being somewhat "old school", 15K mile OCI's are just too long for me, even using BMW-approved GC 0W-30 full synthetic oil. So far, I like 7,500 mile OCI's for my '06 E61's N52.
HTH, and best of luck with the audio issue!

Bad news!
I believe the OCI defaults to 15,000 miles when the CBS is reset. The computer is supposed to adjust the actual service interval projection based on oil temp, load, fuel consumption, etc.
