How often does BMW oil change?

So by spec bmw changes the oil every 2 years or 30 000km or 18 600 miles. I understand that they use synthetic oil, but still, maybe I am old fashioned, but this looks like an overkill. Anyone else practicing this, on previous vehicles or current, with anything to share? ...

How do I know if my oil is 0W-30 ll01-fe approved?

Take notice of the label on the back of the oil bottle. You are looking for a 0W-30 LL-01 FE approval rating. I've just hit 8000km and decided it's time for an oil change (in between Bmw service intervals). So doing some research I need a 0w-30 oil Ll01-FE approved. ...
