BMW recommends having your 2003 BMW 325i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 325i may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 325i. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
