Not to steal the tread but would anyone know if BMW will honor "all" of the no cost service maintenance before my 4th year with mileage way below 50k, even though some parts or service is not needed yet??

Not that I can guess. My car was 3 months from the cutoff for service and given the brakes were not close to needing replacement, they did not change the pads. Oil? Well, you need to meet the criteria also, miles and time since last change.
The change to 3 years and 36 k miles is expected. These cars do not need much before 30 k miles so, it is a win for them. One or two oil changes tops. And new cars do not use the 10w-60 oil that kills older M-car service prices.
What is more important is the future of the WARRANTY. How long will warrantly last? Also 36k miles or 3 years?? If so, we are in VW territory.
