Not anymore. The SIB is on the home page if you want to review it. It is old. It applies to models that aren't in production any longer. It also recommends an oil spec that has been superceded by a few generations of improved oils.
It is not a bad idea to do an annual change, but you can't necessarily play the BMW recommendation card. Some dealers will do it as a courtesy under your maintenance plan. Many won't.
