I've read that article before too..

Going from personal experience

I had a 2000 323i that I purchased brand new. I never deviated from the "scheduled" service intervals. Never did oil changes sooner etc. But I never missed or neglected anything either. My car was heavily modified, and saw a fair amount of track & autocross time as well.

I sold that 323i this past summer with 229,000 miles on it. The car still ran flawlessly. The current owner now now has 237k on it, & still drives it every day.

Maybe I was lucky, don't know, but my 323i was driven very hard & it made me a believer of the engineering of the car.
