If BMW really means it they would put it in writing. To expect a car to continue to go to the dealer for every oil change (during and after service warranty with the ridiculous 15k mile intervals they specify) is absurd considering how many owners DIY in their own driveway. I also find it hard to believe they will help out regardless of time or miles but i'd love to be proven wrong in this case.
