Hi there-
New member here, getting ready to pull the trigger soon (I think) on an '06 330ci ZHP 6MT, 63k miles, 2 owner. Car is in excellent shape, was a former Cert Pre Owned car out of Hendrick in Charleston, SC. After securing its service history, I've discovered the car accumulated 15k miles/yr for its first three years of life, then was sold to its current owner as CPO.
My concern is that it apparently only received one annual oil change each of those 1st 3 years of its life, including the first one. Since then, it has been babied and led an easy life in semi-retirement with low annual miles. The current owner states it doesn't use any oil, but he drives it so little he can't really give a fair gauge on it. It did pass a PPI with flying colors, but forgot to ask to specifically check for oil sludge, nor was a compression / leakdown performed.
Are those first 3 15k oil change intervals anything to be concerned about?
