Hi everyone! 2024 PWP

The dealership had never sold it previously but they did use it for test drives. They did an oil change when I picked it up and had it ceramic coated.

I'm assuming the techs and sales people had a little fun with it. One of them in finance was a big BMW fan but knew every little thing about the ITS and was talking my ears off in excitement when going through paperwork. 2 months in and I can see why he liked it so much!

I'm about to hit 2k miles so I figure I'll see if my local dealership will change it out at 5k then later at another 5k interval just to be safe.

My 2 cents, forget about the dealers "free service" they will only do it based on the cars oil life % anyway.
I decided to drop the oil right after break in, between 600 miles and 1500 miles and now I am at 4300 I am about to do my 2nd oil change at 5k.
I feel like doing it myself gives me satisfaction of getting it done when I want, I changed to Amsoil full synthetic 0W/20.
It gives me a chance to inspect the car, make sure everything looks right and the satisfaction of knowing I changed it well, got good oil in there and a new filter.
Oil is cheap, engines not so much, so for this car, I am committed to doing it every 5k after break in.
Dealers don't want you to change it until closer to 10k which to me is crazy.

Que the chaotic on YouTube bought a demo version that came out early on and had all the options on it to show customers, he had nothing but trouble with that car and I believe it was because they beat on it before breaking it in, and now he has leaks and stuff, actually he sold the car a few weeks ago because of all the trouble and he loved that car.
So, I would say do your own maintenance especially early on to make sure the car gets treated right and look carefully for any leaks.

I was going to buy one of those demo cars too, then I learned they had been test driven a lot, and so I decided to wait, and I bought a car with 4 miles on it to try to make sure it hadn't been abused before I got it.
So far, so good.

We've been through this, but for reciprocity's sake, modern engines and the oil that lubricates them are literally "built different" than they were decades ago when changing every 3k miles was a thing. I know some people get antsy about going so long between oil changes and anyone is entitled to change their oil as much as they want, but implying that it's "crazy" to follow factory-recommended procedures is a bit of a stretch.
