Unless they've changed the maintenance schedule, BMW will do a free oil change once a year if the mileage doesn't warrant a service. Also there is a difference between an "Oil Service" which involves a number of checks and currently runs about $250 ~$300, and an "Oil Change" which is around $100. Under the free maintenance, if you prefer not to wait the ca. 15k miles for an Oil Service", your dealer will do an "Interim Oil Change" for the $100 charge.
Since the charge for 7 quarts of BMW 5w30 synthetic and the BMW filter is around $70, I fail to see any advantage in buying the parts and then going to Jiffy Lube to save $10 or so.
