I certainly don't think that BMW knows best about all maintenance practices. I think they have a good framework, a good starting point. Those who don't agree with BMW recommendations accuse some of us of blindly following BMW guidelines. Personally, I like to understand the guidelines, use them as a starting point, and go from there.
When BMW first said not to rotate tires, many years ago, I was suspicious. I had rotated tires for decades. So, I watched my tires very closely, and had over 70,000 km on the original tires, with very even wear, when I sold the vehicle. So, I guess they were right. Sometimes we have to adapt our thinking.
