+1 Same here.

For each BMW I've ever owned, I've always followed BMW's guidance for oil changes using the condition-based prompts the cars give me and have had no oil / lubricant related problems with any of the cars whatsoever. I've put well in excess of 100K miles on each of them (and am now approaching 90K on my 2012 F02 7 Series). I drive a LOT of highway miles.
