You can revert to old school maintenance if you really don't like your money or suspect that BMW is really out to screw folks over, but it's been shown by many of our personal experiences that you don't need to. Whatever makes you comfortable, ultimately it's a small expense if you do decide to increase your service frequencies.

And thanks for the info, as it makes me feel more confident that BMW's recommended services are the way to go.
