Glad to get back into the 1M
Had my car serviced yesterday at the local BMW dealer in Monterey. Just a oil change since i had hit the 12 month mark since my 1200 mile service. They set me up with a brand new 2013 3 series car with 50 miles on it. Most would be thrilled with the opportunity to drive one of these brand new cars for the day. Not 1M owners. I couldn't wait to turn those keys over for my own. Just total confirmation of what a badass car we have.

They don't get the chance too often to behold and experience the 1M. Just check how excited the tech guys at the dealership are every time you're leaving them the 1M keys. It was, is and will remain a special car, also for them.

So does the 1M require an oil change at 1 year old as mine only has 7,000 miles and is now 14 months old. On board computer says oil change not due until December this year? It has the 5 year service package so do I ask the dealer for an oil service now?
I have to agree Artemis as every time my car goes into the local dealer literally every technician, valeter and parts people swarm around it in the workshop  Chris

+1 here. I got mine out of the shop today and after 3 days in a 13 128i, i was ready fir the M back. Although it was a nice car it doesn't compare.

You are entitled to a low mile oil service after you cross the 12 month mark , the dealer will NOT reset the indicator . You will still get the oil service as stated your vehicle .

This is my 10th BMW and not even the fastest in a straight line, not even the most luxurious, not even the most expensive one. But by far the greatest. By far. Sometimes my dealer gives me a 114i(horrible car not worth the badge imo) , 320d ede(good car!) 535d, 550i etc. But I'm, just like you, happy to be back in that little bast4rd bombshell semi rallycar we have.

mine does... every single time. I usually have to schedule 4-7 days in advance so that a loaner is available, but it is free.  Quote:
I did enjoy the time I had with the F30 because I think auto stop/start is a great feature. Quote:

way too light on the steering effort but it's not HORRIBLE for what is a run of the mill sedan for Joe/Jane Owner. I am sure that the F80 M version of steering will be weighted better.... I Drove a coworker's 2013 Toyota Corolla last week and it has probably 1/5 the effort of the BMW.... so believe me.. BMWs could be FAR worse. The corolla drove just fine.. but seriously one can do lock to lock turns using a ** feather.** ... a pinky finger will have you doing donuts...

We have a Toyota Highlander, and previous to that, a Venza. Steering effort is very light on both.
