BMW dealers would not be in their best interest to scam you over for a small amount of oil.

If it's a small fly by night repair shop in Jamacia Queens where every mechanic is stoned out of their mind so that they may legitimately forget to change your oil, then yeah - I would be worried.

If you are that concerned, buy an oil pump kit that lets you pump the oil out the top to view and look at it before and after.

At that point, just change the oil yourself. If you plan on owning the car for the long haul and are concerned about the long term engine life and shadiness of dealers then buy a box of oil and some ramps and do it yourself.
