I was not sure what BMW UK suggesting as service intervals, it differs market to market; that's why I've mentioned it as something like '10K? in UK' It might be 20 there but I would not wait that long for an oil change anyway and would change my oil myself at 10K miles too, in your case now.

By 'control' I mean diagnostic control of the car to see if there are any codes etc. as well as a test drive dealers are keen to realize.

If the first owner never changed engine oil after the run-in service I would not wait till 20K miles to have the second one with these cars.
