Mini got so many complaints they went back to the original program about two years ago which is computer based or one year. I think they had a legal issue because the owners manual said " you Must change your oil every year". I went in at one year and they said my computer said I didn't need it yet and they made me pay for it. Needless to say I went batshit crazy and obviously so did a lot of people so they changed it. It's always best to call the dealer you plan on getting all your work at because they can all get a little weird every now and then and change the policy.

In Canada at least, the free "scheduled maintenance" is computer mileage based, or once per year, whichever is the shorter time frame. I literally just re-confirmed this with the dealer at the weekend as I was booking the wife's car in for service and she's sitting at about 9,000km after a year.....it's still classed as scheduled maintenance for her.
