Do your self a favour, if you have oil in your car that has 15K miles on it, don't rev your engine past 4,000 rpm too much.
there is also nothing that proves it's related to the service intervals

if following the service intervals as the factory recommends really cause the engines to sludge up badly we'd be seeing tons of cases by now, since BMW has been doing longer intervals for years now.

we're seeing far more fuel pumps go bad than engines needing replacement due to sludge buildup. I know E90's haven't been around long enough, but plenty of us on the board have run newer BMW's for many miles without issue.

quit with the BS about I hope you don't rev your engine.... it's all crap

you have no proof the engine buildup is due to intervals, and until cases start coming up I'm going to go ahead and kind of disagree with you.
