According to the manual, the car uses condition based maintenance. Meaning it takes different factors into consideration when making recommendations for service. I've know it does change based on driving, because different BMWs I know had different times when the change was needed. Also, BMW will change your oil after one calender year if the mileage isn't 0 yet. I did this with still about 4000 miles left. From what I understand this is part of the covered maintenance, and they should honor this.
