Can be much longer even
without the service contracts. BMW in the UK have longer service intervals for diesel engines, can be around 20k miles or 2-years on the CBS scheme.
Yes, 'dirty diesel' with oil in for over 20k miles or 2-years a time, and BMW will warranty the engine to over 100k miles on extended warranty, as long as you follow the CBS schedule.
Good or bad, it is becoming the norm, and also by other car makers for Europe.
