But at some point much sooner than you would have had you just done was required and got it coded in. Your car is going to continue to charge your new battery at the rate it was charging your older, weaker battery. So it's simple math actually, if your car keeps overcharging your new battery at the old rate it's going to dramatically shorten the life of your new battery. I hope this makes sense...

I'm not saying you are wrong, but at the ~400$ BMW charges for a battery you can go through a lot of WalMart batteries.
Again, I'm not arguing with you, but I can see why people would skip regging a new battery if the car works OK.
