Sitting wif the '30   (taken over by my dad & older brother)
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b384/mockngbrd4/BMW%20318is/e30-e36.jpg)

car comes with: "M42, ported & polished head, Supersprint exhaust; Viper2 ECU chip, Z3 short shifter, K&N airbox, polyurethane bushes, M-TECH front/rear sway bars, Bilstein dampers, Eibach springs, Hand-stitched M3 steering wheel, M3 gear shifter, Z3 instruments, M3 pedals, M3 splitter & skirts, M3 wing mirrors, genuine M3 "Sunflower" alloys"

just a question for the M42 guys, the previous owner goes for servicing and oil changes every 5000km's (bout 3100+miles i think), shud i follow suit?

All depends what type of oil (synthetic or regular) . I don't know what other service you would need every 3000 miles ?
I would hope that your running synthetic.

yup, the car's on synthetic (Mobil 1)... i think it shouldn't be a problem for me to stretch to about 5500kms? +- ... cos i won't be free to send her in till nex saturday :(

I change the oil when the colour is just between brown and black, i don't necessarily look at mileage but that occurs around 5500-6500km. :)

500km isn't a big differance.
 
Thing is syn oil lasts longer than conventional oil yes...
BUT the oil still gets dirty just as fast. So I still change my redline oil every 3k miles regardless.
