haha Yes, the dealership actually has a specified key ring for my car which reminds them NEVER to wash it. They washed my ZHP one time and I went berserk. First world problems.

No, not under warranty - all out of pocket. People will debate the merits of this service ad nauseum; that's the cool thing about your own car, you can service and take care of it as you see fit. I tend to go along with Mike Miller (of Roundel and Bimmer Mag) and his Old School Maintenance Schedule.

BMW will only pay for your maintenance at the indicated intervals (between 10 and 15k or so), so if you intend on doing any intermediary oil changes (7.5k), they're out of pocket, too.
