Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 335i?

How hard is it to change BMW 335i oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my BMW 335i exhaust smoke grayish or blue?
