Let's get some mistruths stopped here today. I drive a C7 Z51. I change my own oil. Price varies depending on oil price obviously but I get a filter for 7 bucks. There is not 2 sumps there are 2 drain plugs. One for the sump and one for the reservoir. If you add the necessary oil amount (9.3l) you can drive the car. When you get back home, check the oil in 5-10 minutes-it will be bang on. And oil changes for BMW's are not as high as I'm reading on this site as I drive a twin turbo beast that uses 6.6l of Castrol Edge European Blend. Similar cost to Mobil as long as you don't buy from dealer. And the dealership oil change price is under $200 anyway although I still do it myself. Don't know why BMW has to be trashed on here without facts, they build very good cars but they're not for the poor but neither are vettes.
Ok Tony..... deep breath in....hold it.... now exhale. I just reread all and the BMW comment is simply a personal experience, not an opinion of Beamers overall. Just a thought but you might find that this site doesn't really operate like the others. We may have dissenting opinion but we try to bring it across in a mature and well thought out response. The members get along here...very well I might add.
Again... breath in.... hold it.... exhale. Have a good one Lol.
