do any bmw's take only 5 qts?

I always get this $69.99 coupon for an oil change, up to 7 qts. M cars and diesels extra. Today I get another coupon from another dealership, and it says up to 5 qts. for $89.99. I bet that means that a 335 would be like $120 or so, which isn't much of a savings. Is this marketing? Seems like a gimmick.

Here's a table from the BMW TIS of oil capacities:

So to answer the question, not in recent history. Smells like marketing.

My local dealership has the Same Coupon--up to 5 quarts.
