normally the first oil change is 5K and then 10K interval on new Toyotas. The manual says 7.2K interval on the Supra, does that mean the first oil change is 3.6K? I haven’t seen anything discussing this...

I suspect it uses condition-based-service (CBS) based on the BMW iDrive system. Hunt through the menus, look under Vehicle > Vehicle Status > Service Required (or similar if it was tweaked on the Supra). That will give you an estimate of when the next service is required and should update based on the driving. BMW generally calls for oil changes between 12,000-15,000 miles, or 1 year, whichever comes first. Toyota may have changed the mile limits, but probably still uses 1 year. If you put low mileage on your Supra, as I suspect many folks will since it's a second/third car for them, then you may fall into the 1 year intervals.

It will be within the first 1k miles for me just like any other car I have bought new. Likely it will be between 500 and 800 mile marks.

service manager said 10k miles is what the manual said but he recommended doing the first at 5k then 10k then every 10k after that

Around April 9 I will pull the car out :) and get its first oil change . This will last the 2020 driving season as
I expect to do about 8k-10k.

Just did my first oil change at 900 miles . There was sparkly silver glitter in the filter (normal). It was about 5 little specks of metal on each fold in the filter.

I’m going to wait until about 1,200 miles to do the first oil change. Switching to a slightly thicker oil (5w-30) and change it every 4-5K miles thereafter.

That's exactly what I'll be doing. Already did the first change and have the second kit sitting on the shelf.. also picked up a transmission service too and will be doing that at 25k then every 40k thereafter.

Service kits I'm using (if interested):
