Perhaps BMW is getting ready to move the US to LL04 oils. Historically these oils were only suitable for diesels. BMW is selling more diesels so they will have to stock more LL04. They may save some $$ by moving the entire fleet to this oil and slowly reduce their need to stock LL01 (ULSG is coming) .

For current sulphur levels in US gas in order to use LL04 in gassers you would have to shorten the OCI.

Cost of stocking bulk oil of two different varieties, greater chance of using incorrect oil in diesels, etc etc.
