Should I check my BMW M850i xDrive motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your M850i xDrive’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my BMW oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of 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.
