BMW Connected message
I got a BMW Connected message yesterday telling me my 2017 M2 needed an oil service.
The interesting part is that my M2 is a 2018. Hmm. Wonder what happened when Connected knows my VIN? |

It is a November 2017 build that I picked up in January 2018.

It is going in next Tuesday for probably its last free maintenance. P.S. I hate that they changes from a complete four year maintenance to just a three year oil change and one brake fluid change. Dropping wiper blades and brakes is just a bummer. |

I changed my own oil the second time I'm overdue for a oil and brake fluid change When did BMW switch to 3 year maintenance coverage⁉️

Connected drive is referring your car's build year not model year.

It's only the US where they call this year's car next year's. Thankfully, because it's just plain dumb.

Fan only. Here in Florida it doesn't really help all that much.
I've coded the car so my key fob rolls down the windows with an unlock\long press. That works a ton better.
