Perhaps we could meet half way at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium? Quote:
I've done ~7000km or so since then, including 3 track days at some of the worlds best F1 circuits, and my I-drive is telling me service is due 04/2021 or in 18000km. Why are the drain intervals so different? Time is time, miles are miles. 10k makes sense, but 15.6k miles? And the engines are identical, how come BMW recommends such different intervals? Also what oil is recommended in the US? Here it's 0W-40 BMW LL

I made sure to be a bit more careful about it afterwards and I haven't had another mishap since. Quote:

Spa is also very doable. Zandvoort is only like 40min by train from dam

Shorter trips will increase the chance of % fuel dilution in the oil and not the best thing for a car during the break in period.
