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.
From where I come from, a year per oil change is kinda stretched don't you think so? Well I guess BMW is so sophisticated, it gets moody sometimes lol!
