15K with synthetic oil is fine. Changing it more often is just a waste of time.
If you have BMW Connect active your cell phone has the mileage or dates when all recommended service is due. I do agree that lifetime fluids are a joke. Once every two or three year to change the “lifetime fluids” is good. Note that the coolant fluid is never mentioned. 2-3 years is good for that fluid change also.
