If your BMW still has a dipstick, you can take the sample out of that using a vacuum pump after a long drive. Just wear gloves, you won't burn yourself.

Forgot to post the march analysis, it showed some concern with the 2% fuel dilution, looked like a leaky injector at first. I showed the report to the dealer, they contacted bmw and they said this fuel dilution is still within spec.
The latest report shows no issues at all, seems the problem fixed itself. You can get an idea how fuel dilution affects the viscosity and flashpoint of the oil. My driving style and gas station didn't change. I put motul specific LL-01 FE 0w30 between the free yearly bmw tpt oil changes.

Yup same top tier gas as before.
I recommend that you drive the car at highway+ speeds for at least 30 minutes on a weekly basis. This gets all of the fluids up to their proper operating temperatures, and that will burn off any fuel in the oil. BMW engine thrive on high rpms.
Good choice.
I feel like BMWs get the oil hot and quick. At least for the twin turbos I've done changes on for neighbors. My Toyotas don't get the oil nearly as hot after running the engine a bit before a change.

Toyota's are SLOW warming machines. BMW in general warms up much faster, turbo or not.
