Ask BMW the question and get the answer in writing, at least then you'll have some come back.
Not sure I like the idea of the same oil being in the engine for 3 years, although I can't think why this would cause a problem. If you do buy the car, make sure you use this as a negotiating point!

This is the point I was trying to make - badly... Not the way to treat a car like this IMO.
As a comparison, I bought mine at 25k miles and it had:
16.07.04 @ 1220 miles Running in check (Murketts)
15.07.05 @ 4327 oil service (Murketts)
21.09.05 @ 7295 oil service (Murketts)
11.04.06 @10941 oil service (Dick Lovett)
31.03.07 @ 16112 oil service (Sorensons)
29.10.07 @ 19345 Inspection I (Sorensons)
17.04.09 @ 25000 oil service (Phoenix)
Now at 30k and will get an oil service in January when in for MOT.
As said above, if you have / want a warranty I'd ask BMW for something in writing. If not then up to you really.
