I think bmw service recommendations are 90% financial based and 10% engineering based. Plus or minus. Haha.

A very interesting thought.
A 75,000 mile interval for our ZF-8hp transmissions might help make them A LOT of money. But, leaving them might result in a destroyed transmission and a full replacement. Doubt that 75,000 mile and up M5's are getting this done at BMW though. And, that transmission is "off the shelf" from ZF and can be gotten from other "recycled" cars.
Not sure I agree with you. But, it's just a thought.
