I consider myself a DIY guy but my local BMW dealer is having a sale on oil change and it's only $ 79.99, tough to beat that deal and of course the peace of mind of knowing the good stuff is going into my car. I'm planning to schedule one soon even though my it's not time for an oil change yet.
For those who live up north near Pleasanton, check out East Bay BMW, go to their website and print out the oil change coupon.

what howitzer said.
ideally do it yourself, its not that hard. if you can find a dealer that does it for <$100 then why not spend a couple of extra bucks though. $250 for an oil change is ludicrous.

While looking at the forums, I noticed my top banner was showing a Midas advertisement where an oil and filter change is priced at $24.99.
On that note, has anyone taken there 5 for an oil change at a regular service station? Somewhere which is not BMW? I am guessing it had to be cheaper, but was it worth it? Did they do a good job?
