M2 Giving 'Oil Change Soon' Notification, <3k mi!
A few days ago the car gave me, and the dealership, a notification that it 'wants' an oil change in January 2019 or in 8,700mi.
I took delivery from stock June 29 (2018), got the 1,200 break in service Aug 8, car has only 2,783 miles now. I wonder if it's possible it was in inventory since Jan 2018 and they didn't reset it to 12 months from deliver (do they do that?), or didn't reset something at the 1,200 mile, or (I hope not) something wrong? I phoned the dealership but person I talked to obviously knew less than I do about BMW's (and I don't claim to know a lot). I guess I'll make an appointment and actual service people can look at it. Just wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen. I don't drive the car that much, obviously, but it's not treated unusually otherwise, garaged, and driven enough to reach normal coolant temp at least every 10-12 days. Although a good deal of the 2,800 miles is a few road trips this summer, it's been driven at only maybe ~1,000 mile/year rate since the weather's turned cold. |

Sounds like they didn't reset it and it was probably delivered to them in January '18, though I thought an oil change was part of the 1200 mile service. Maybe it's time to find a new dealer? This one seems to be slacking in the service department.

I don't understand why people are buying this car and then just parking it in a garage... It's a car! Drive it! That's the fun of owning the thing!
