I own it. I'm not worried at all. Modern oil is quite good these days. Filter is the weaker point.

I've had Blackstone analyze my oil after 9000 miles telling me that all is fine, and I should try a longer drain interval. On more than one occasion, with a couple different cars. Stopped subscribing to "change it sooner" after that. BMW know what they're talking about. I have 0 worries.
