I find it funny that BMW advertises all recommended service for 4yrs/50,000 miles is free of charge. What they don't tell you is that since they started this program a few years back, they also greatly extended their recommended service intervals! This saves them money as they don't service the car as frequently as they used to. And why would they? It's on their dime for 4 years/50,000 miles. ;-)
I get my oil/filter changed, coolant flushed, and other maintenance items done more inline with the old recommend service interval even if it means paying for it myself.
