Inspection I/II for low milage cars

I was looking at the schedule maintenance from bmw, and it mentions inspection I at 30k miles and inspection II at 60k. Is there a time schedule as well for us low milage drivers? I know they gave out yearly oil change for drivers who doesnt reach 15k, but what about the inspections? I am barely at 7k with two more months left before my first yearly old change, and I am not even sure I can reach 30k by 4th year. Could I ask them to do the inspection even if I havent reach the milage? Also, I paid for the extended maintenace, so I would have the same question for inspection II at 60k or 6 years.

in my own opinion the inspections are not nessesary if u dont drive much. the inspections just go through a full service list like changing the coolant and oil and filters and brake fluids and such. if anything its mostly a fluids change and a visual inspection. but i believe you can request to get it done under your maintenance even if its not needed yet but i could be wrong. im not a service writer im only a warranty administrator lol

There is no Inspection I/II on E90s. The only cars that still use that are the Z4 and X3, and those both just went out of production. CBS (condition based service, such as the E90) cars have a vehicle check around every 30k miles. It's a check sheet that includes stuff like checking the lighting, horn, seatbelts, battery, suspension, leaks, etc. It can only be covered by warranty when your car says it's due.
