Good gosh, the owner is a tard of epic proportions. Please for the sake of your engine, change the oil regularly and use good oil.

WOW people like that shouldn't even own a vehicle of ANY kind. I was always under the impression that people who own those types of cars are fairly intelligent. Apparently not.There's a saying that I heard along time ago that kinda applies to that guy: Ban low performance (or stupid in this case) drivers, not high performance cars.

I spent all day reading that thread lol. I'm a member there too. There is no excuse for what he did! Sheesh!

There are some real dip$hits that own any make. And alot of us Bimmer owners work on our own rides, and are nice people too.

I dont see the problem there...bmw's arent supposed to need oil changes, thats why they cost so much, to outweigh the costs of maintenance

What a tard

Ha, that's funny. My last 2 BMW's got treated just like any other car I've had, but were driven much much harder. Like the ultimate driving machine lol. Never had any issues.
