What kind of oil are you using to come up with that figure?
I just changed the oil in the X1(28i) yesterday and it cost me $55. That was at my friends cost who is a local independent. BMW 0W30 LL was $7.50 X 6 and the MANN filter kit was $10. The M2 takes 7 or 8 quarts and the cheapest I have seen BMW LL or Castrol is $9 on-line.
