Since they pay for CBS service, under MM they can require only BMW oil for that service- and they do.

But they also suggest additional (mid cycle) oil changes for 'severe service', and they don't pay for that oil. So they can't require the use of a specific (BMW) oil, using your point re Moss-Magnuson.
My suggestion was that the interpretation was narrow, not BMW's document itself. It was fairly open IMO.
