In the event your BMW travels considerably less than 6,200 miles (10,000 km) annually, the oil should still be changed once a year, as it will age despite infrequent usage.

A required oil for all model year 1999 and later BMW vehicles
All new BMW engines come from the factory filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic Engine Oil [i.e., 5W-30]. The reason is that those engines are designed to provide longer oil service intervals while still delivering optimum performance, fuel efficiency, and durability.
