Last track event my counter dropped like 2-3000km on the maintenance. I think it adjusts some to your driving but will always be 1 year max.
I think the OP wants to know the full shcedule wich I don't have but would be surprised if we can't find it online somewhere.

I believe it is called CBS (condition based service). So the service intervals are based on how you drive (short trips? Long trips? High RPM?).
Bmw did add some time intervals as well (oil changes at least every year) HTH

I am changing my oil every 5,000 miles. It is cheap insurance and piece of mind.

I track my car so changed the oil at 4000 miles. Will probably change it again at 7,000 and then take it to the dealer for the 10,000 mile change. By that point I’ll be well over a year interval but that’s my plan... not a fan of dealerships - would rather have my performance shop keep it in tip top shape most of the time.

15,000 might be the standard for non-M cars as I remember that from my previous BMWs. In fact early BMWs under the free maint did not even include the 1 year oil changes. You had to know to ask for them or it was two years. Basically bmw pushed the limits and it has cost them in long term reliability. The fact is, most bmw auto transmissions will fail at 100k miles due to lack of fluid changes. |

As stated above it is condition based. When I track my car 80 mins on track knocks off about 3,000 miles of oil life on a hot day. You never go for more than 12 months without an oil change regardless of miles.
Since I track my car I pay no attention to the condition based interval and do oil analysis and change oil between 4,000 and 6,000 miles based on the number of track days I do. Because of heat I run a slightly thicker oil based on a recommendation by the good folks at Bimmerworld. BTW the analysis shows even with track days I can probably go 10,000 miles safely with Motul 8100 Xcess 5w40 but oil is cheap insurance especially when you buy in bulk and DIY. |

In Europe it's definitely 18 months or thereabouts, dependant on type of use.
I had my 1200 mile RIS service done in April with the next oil change being November 2019, or another 15000 miles. |
