maintainance question

I recently bought my 135. it has 24k on it and I don't know when the last oil change was done. when I turn the car on the counter always says 14k. and all my maintainance counters on the screen are not counting down either, they are all even, 14k miles, 20k miles, ect. so my question is, are the counters supposed to count down?

Yes, but they count down in big jumps... 1,000 miles at a time. I was also curious about this when I got my 135. You can relax. Your car knows when it needs service and it will certainly let you know.

They can also read your key at the dealership and tell you when the last maintenance was done and when the next is scheduled.

Based off the 14k I would say it has happened within the last 1k miles. I would understand an oil change if you wanted to. The only thing that would hurt would be your wallet and maybe a knuckle or two.
