Question No oil change during 1200 mile service?

This is now what I heard from 2 dealerships.

BMW stopped changing oil and diff fluid on all 2014+ M5s and. 2015+ M3/M4 during break in service? Is this true?

They must be on drugs. That is the whole purpose of the 1200 mile service is to change those fluids.

False. Both need changing according to the manual. At least in Europe but I can't imagine it being any different in the us.

Or they are idiots? You would be surprised how often dealers are wrong. They almost put wrong trans fluid in 1M even after I told the it took LT5. Even if they truly didn't pay for it get it done. These diffs need care . They are managing a lot more torque than before.
