Engine Air Filter

How often should it be changed under normal conditions? Thinking of doing it at 11K miles.

Too early?

It should be done for free at your oil service.

Probably says in your user manual. My user manual states the filter change interval for my F31.

Dealer does it for free when you service the car with them. You don't have to worry about doing it yourself until your warranty expires. That being said every 15-30k miles is usually when the filter needs to be cleaned/replaced.

Update - tech looked at the filter after 11K miles - said there were either 2 or 3 specs of dust on it.

No change obviously.

Bullshit. The air filter is included as part of the maintenance, which is rolled into the cost of the car. Just because it doesn't look dirty doesn't mean there aren't particulates trapped in it.

Make them change that shit; if they don't want to change it, make them give you a new one and stash it away for once the car is out of warranty.
