How would the dealer know this?
Yeah. Old story that started way back with the E46's which supposedly said you could go 15k mi between oil changes.
I always changed the oil every 5000 mi. In the E46's there is a way to reset the oil counter w/o having a special tool.
I suspect the same will be true of the E82.
