No way no how!!!
No, you need to read the entire thread again.

One poster said that the 15,000 mile intervals are fine for normal use, and that there wouldn't be any detectable extra wear by 100,000 miles. He referenced examples demonstrating that.

Another poster said that 15,000 mile intervals are crazy, and are a BMW plan to sell more vehicles. He carried on to say that you could go 100,000 miles without changing the oil, and you should expect to find the engine totally bagged by that point.

You need to check the functioning of your sarcasm detector.
