Actually BMW does this because they offer the maintenance program where they change all fluids at the recommended intervals. I still believe the M cars still require the oil to be done every 5k but maybe they updated it.
I owned a 2012 135i before getting my 2018 ZL1 so I know the reason why they say 15k miles.... its because in the maintenance program BMW does it on their dime. It use to be every 7.5k or 10k but they bumped it up.
Go look at the inside of a BMW engine after it has 50k on it while doing the 15k mile oil changes. It's nasty as hell.
This is all well documented on BMW forums about how they bumped up the oil changes so they don't lose as much money.
