This is why it is a well known adage to not buy a BMW out of warranty due to minimal fluid changes.
If you plan on keeping your BMW after warranty expires, change oil every 6000 miles. If not, just do the BMW provided changes.
BTW, also change the front/rear differentials and transaxle fluids at 25000 miles not 40000 if you are keeping car past warranty. This will reduce gear wear from built up metal wear particles.

Thanks for this, information. I plan on keeping mine until the G60 replacement comes out. I'm always going to hit 'years' before miles. My Audi (2018) I'm getting rid of has 35,500'ish miles on it. It was 6 years old in April. So would this be in 2.5 years? (vs miles) for the diff/trans fluid replacements?
