My uncle has never poped the hood once on his 325I. Why should he waste his time? BMW covers all the maintaince all he does is drop it at the dealer every 10k miles and they do their thing. In 1-2 years it will be traded in on a newer one.

It depends on how much you care about a car, I just changed the oil in my SD for the first time since June. Now granted it sat a lot but still. Maybe I'll change it next year but if I am going to sell it I'd rather keep the $20 in my pocket.
