The dealers will change oil yearly regardless of mileage, I have 22K miles on mine and have had it changed twice already.
If your dealer don't, change dealers.

My dealer changed the brake fluid when my car was just over 1 year old and had 16,000 miles on it. I hadn't even asked for it, but they did it anyways. Also, regardless of what iDrive says you are allowed to get yearly oil and filter changes under BMW's US Free Maintainence plan. So even if iDrive says that you don't need an oil change for another 10,000 miles, if it's been a year since the last change they will do it for free.
Overall I think the BMW free maintainance plan is pretty good as they even replace parts due to normal wear (like brake pads and disks, wiper blades, etc.).

(ii) even when you cough up this large sum of money to buy the 'service inclusive' option, you are not entitled to oil and filter changes every year... you have to stick to whatever the service indicator says
Count yourselves very lucky in the US to have this kind of service!
