Mike claims this *new* schedule was implemented when BMW went to
"free" service for 4 years or up to 50K miles

This sounds convenient but it simply not true.

(In the US), the ca. 15k oil interval came with the change to OEM synthetic
oil in '99. My '97 Z3 2.8 had factory dino oil and a countdown system which
called for oil changes about every 7,500 miles. It also had 3 year/36k mile
free maintenance; although brakes were not included at that time.
