Picked up my M340i 2 weeks ago. I pretty much had all options added except for xDrive. Got ceramic coating done few days ago. I'm loving this car, it's such huge improvement from my older 430i.

I went to the encore delivery today, which is standard at BMW. The genius was quite knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions I had. To my surprise, the genius told me I should change oil at 1200 miles. Per my understanding, that's only for the pure M cars as they have special break in oil.

The question here is not saving $100 oil change or not. I'm just curious do we really need to change oil that early for non-M cars? I'm also hesitating to take my car to dealership if it's not necessary. My older 430i was machine washed at dealership even if I told them not to do so.

Any thought or opinion would be appreciated.
