This long change interval for BMWs in Europe has been the case for over 20 years now.
BMW is the norm with these longer intervals. Porsche is similar, too.
Plenty of high speed use on the Autobahn without any trend in engine problems with the BMW specified oil and change intervals over the years.

Its 2 years/30,000km here in Germany. I will be changing at the next winter tires application - so about 18 months. A few months early. Modern oils are able to sustain this. Too many people waste money on early oil changes, especially those not tracking in a significant way.
