Excellent point. I wonder if they will eventually get rid of the minimum annual oil service recommendation/bulletin and switch it to 2 years?

If you have only done one oil change in that time and mileage, they want to remove the valve cover and see if there is any visible degradation before including that same example vehicle in the CPO warranty program.

That seems to me to be a very strong endorsement by BMW of the recommended two year/15,000 mile oil change intervals, at least for vehicles not operating in extreme service conditions.
