Now if you approached the service dept of the dealership and asked them that would be a bit more responsible route to go. Frankly myself I'll take what a "car salesman" tells me with a small grain of salt, the old "trust but verify" approach is suitable.
I've dealt with very knowledgeable and trustworthy "car salespersons" and also have dealt with some totally misinformed and in one case actually dishonest.

IDK, the thread was discussing just "dealers." Agreed the service department is more reliable than the sales department, but I'm not sure that was clear in this thread. I was just noting official BMW position on the matter citing the manual.
