BMW recommends changing your 2004 330i’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 330i in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 330i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
