The F8x cars are on a programmed interval of "Oil Chg 10,000 mls/12 months" with option code: 08KL, therefore no annual oil changes will qualify for these vehicles.

If the vehicle had an interval option code of 08KC for "Oil Chg 15,000 miles/24 months," then YES the annual oil service would qualify.

Give them this info and I'm willing to bet they'll correct themselves and say sorry you're not eligible for a yearly oil service.

AND if your dealership IS doing these annual oil services they're definitely not getting reimbursed by BMW NA and are eating the costs after you leave w/ your car with a fresh oil change.
you wrote it backwards.

BMW will pay to change your oil every 10,000miles OR once a year whatever comes first.
You shouldn't have to worry about it though as the maintenance reminder is programmed to tell you to change the oil in this fashion. (After 12 months or 10k it will pop up in dash)
