Yep it's flawed alright.

If you're stupid enough to stretch OCIs on the race bred engines in M cars you deserve worn RBs.

Those brilliant engineers at BMW were specifying 15,000 mile or once a year oil change intervals. Interestingly, the most widely accepted theory for the spun rod bearing from engine failures and the heavily worn rod bearings from preventative maintenance changes is not the oil change interval, but the bearing clearance that is much less than industry standards.
