Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
sounds like you're on the wrong forum.

BMW does recommend the 15k specs because they have to be able to offer a "no cost maintenance" plan for the life of the warranty. As opposed to Toyota who did a "toyota care" with 10k intervals for life of the warranty. It's all about competition.

I recommend 5-7k max OCI or once a year whatever comes first. Main reason why I won't be buying new bimmers used, the maintenance schedule is terrible. You think a brake fluid drain/flush is included on the 4 year 50k maintenance plan, even though its recommended every 2? Absolutely not.

Sure these Bimmers require more maintenance than a Honda CRV but if you actually drove one of those you would understand what falling asleep behind the wheel means....
