servicing notice on instrument panel

[sonicbimmer19]

Hi guys, I got a E88 with 26500 mileage with the Carfax report showing the car got oil changes at around 13000 and 23000. Yet, the instrument panel says I have servicing in 1500 miles... is this wrong or are there other tune ups my car needs? thanks in advance!!

Please read the manual regarding "Condition Based Servicing". It appears that the second oil change was time, not CBS based, so the dash countdown was probably not reset. You should therefore be eligible for a free CBS change in 1,500 miles - check with your BMW dealer to be sure. Also, you will have an "Inspection" service due at 30,000 miles, so you might wait and have the oil change done at the same time. Again, check with your dealer.

Also you can get a dash readout of current servicing requirements through the on board computer with the engline idling and the car stopped. See "Service Requirements" in your manual as to how.
