Saying that the 1200-mile service counted as "1 oil change of 3 included" is just wrong, and most likely the SA knows it, but that's their own business practice to lie to the customer and then do crap like change the spark plugs early, because BMW will pay for it once.
Changing the plugs at 8600 miles is a complete waste of time, money, and parts. If my dealership tries any such nonsense, I'll be complaining to BMW corporate.

My spark plugs were changes after three years. That technically was during the fourth oil change. After the breakin oil change my oil has been changed once a year due to oil age not mileage (under 10K miles per year).
