Hey guys,

I just got a used 2021 BMW M2C with about 16k miles from the BMW dealership and the service intervals seemed to have been reset, so now everything is showing an arbitrarily long time before it needs to be serviced again.

For example,

* Brake fluid doesn't need to be serviced until 06/2024
* Vehicle check not needed until 12/2026 or 40k miles
* Front brake pads do not need to be replaced until another 60k miles. I know the brake pads have not been replaced since first owner, so the mileage doesn't seem realistic





Any pointers would be helpful, thank you!

These checks and services have been done by the dealership (for instance, they have serviced/changed the brake fluid, so it now shows the 2-year period to the next service interval).

I’m sure the BMW dealership will provide the service history if you request a print out.

Sounds like they have serviced all outstanding items. Is the car CPO? If so, they may have changed brake pads, etc. it’s a rigorous program.

Good luck and enjoy the car!

Brake fluid due at 3 years from build date so that's normal. Front pads 60k miles is totally believable if 1st owner babied the car. The "check" probably was reset, I suspect that they did the "free" spark plug replacement that's covered in the initial 3/36 free service and reset that one.

I bought it from a BMW dealership and the car only had one previous owner. It is not CPO.

I'll call and see if they have the service history so I can look into details.

Thank you!

Just to add some context for the brake pad wear, I have a 2021 with over 20k miles and my front still show 60k life left. The rear show even longer at 80k!

You're not driving it properly.

I disagree; I just use a lot of engine braking with downshifting I can't say that I'll see anywhere near the same life out of the tires though, especially the rears....
