Default Changing oil question

Hi, I am going on a 30 day vacation and my car, regretfully will be staying back home in Chicago. Should I change the oil with a purolight filter along with Mobil1 5W-30 oil before I leave? Anything else that I should do so that I won't have serious issues when I get back?

Your car will be fine, but if you're close to the next change you might as well do it anyway.

Thank you for the assurance. This is my first BMW and I am already in love with it...naturally I am a bit paranoid about small things.

Being paranoid about small things is far better than being shattered when they develop into BIG things.
