Despite it saying it should be changed doesn't mean it was.
I've seen plenty of places (even places I've worked, I do not condone it especially if it's being paid for) just use those brake fluid test strips that are like a litmus test and skip it if they don't say it requires changing.
I'm of the opinion that it should be changed at least at those intervals, if not more.

Got bike back yesterday. Needed new master cylinder, pipes etc all cleaned. £868 including the service. I've sent a complaint to BMW as I have all my service records for the bike.
