It's my opinion that BMW or probably any other Car manufacture does not want the vehicle to last longer than 6 years let alone probably not even 3 years. In BMW's case this aligns with warranties they give you and extending the service intervals between maintenance items. The Ultimate Care service plan frankly isn't very ultimate for the customer its more ultimate for BMW. They will say things like well the data shows this or that and that is how we came up with the internals and items to perform services on. (and will only get worst with AI figuring those things out if not already). In reality they want the consumer to think of them like Apple, to purchase a new iPhone/vehicle every couple years type industry. How do you get there? They start by using cheaper plastics, cheaper parts, just-good-enough materials, throwing the latest bells and whistle of haphazardness technologies that are never well supported or 100% functional before the next model, and make the repair and maintenance side outrageously priced to nearly force your hand to buy a new vehicle. And it works because here we all are.
