Also, your tires and breaks need some time to break in as well. Tires will perform better once you drove on them for a bit. If you do sudden stops or break too hard before your tires are broken in properly, they can slip on the rims!

1st oil change
Since warranty does not require oil change @ 3000-5000km u'll have to pay to get it done.
At my 1st oil change recently, I tried to get the dealer to put in castrol edge synthetic, or use motor oil for the m engines, & even pay the difference, again they say it's unnecessary as they use bmw synthetic made by castrol for the x6. Dealers just do it by the book so as not to void warranty by errors on their part. It's like trying to get a bank to admit that they made a mistake in writing! I'll have to find a dealer who would let me pay for M engine motor oil or use my own Castrol Edge synthetic. Anyone with similar Xperience? |

With synthetic oil the old 3k oil change thing really isn't neccesary. Besides when it needs an oil change it will "phone home" and the dealer will call you (at least in US). |

In Costa Rica due to the bad quality of the Diesel, the first oil change is scheduled at 8000Kms instead of 16000 |

The car is basically the same. The only changes between the 2008 and 2009 models were the options. Since the model was introduced in 2008, it would be to soon to already do any major (or minor for that matter) styling, chassis, engine, or whatever changes!

The service period moves changes depending on how hard you drive the car, if you keep pushing the RPM's high, service period will decrease, but IMO the most important thing is to go with the dealer instructions, here in Costa Rica our Diesel is poor, so the first oil change must be done at 8000Kms and the car says at 18,000, but dealer is asking that because they dont want trouble with dirty oil.
