Turn off service reminder?

I literally just got my service done this month, but every time I start my car it says something about service due in 10,000 miles October of 2021. I'd like to not see that until what, a month out? Can I turn that crap off?

Really makes me wonder why BMW even put it there, pretty stupid if you ask me. My Acura tells me 30 days in advance, and gives me a percentage, but the BMW thinks I need to know the interval every time I start the car?

I've noticed this too (both in my F87 & F30), super annoying and would love to learn if it's possible to shut off. I'm aware I have an oil change due in 9000 miles, thank you

I don't advise messing with that via coding, because if you do you might screw up the IBS service counter resulting in you loosing or missing out on some of your free services.

I have a '15 and a '17 that are out of warranty so I wouldn't be missing out on any freebies.

As long as the service indicators still go off once they're overdue that's fine. I just don't want/need reminders, especially ones that are so far away.

I've always wondered why they notified you about the upcoming service when it's so far out.

It didn't bother me enough to fret over it though since it's just a quick notice when you start the car and doesn't stay anywhere else

It's not too much of a bother, just seems weird/stupid, like other things with BMW. I hate to say that Acura/Lexus do a lot of these little things better, but they do. Like the side mirror dip when you back up. If the mirror selector is on the left, the left mirror dips. If it's on the right, the right mirror dips. If it's in the middle, neither dip. But on the M2 it has to be in the driver's position, and the passenger side dips? Makes soooo much sense .

Agreed on all points! I just chalk it up to German Engineering (TM) haha. Just like how they put the door lock button in the center which I like now

Just spoke with my SA, it can't be changed. I can change how my brake lights blink, but not that the service minder shows a year early. BMW is pretty damn stupid in some ways.
