Your 2017 440i’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 440i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 440i. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
