He said it'd be okay if it was a 600-700 miles left and I was like.. no problem.

Pop into my car this evening to run to the store and the maintenance countdown says 1600? Is that even possible? The total at that point would be 15786? Is the maintenance mileage variable on these things?? Something seems fishy here..

anyway... any thoughts?????
Harder you drive it, the faster you'll require service. The loaner car I had while my 1er was in service had 6k miles on the odo but it was 5k miles to service. I feel bad for whoever buys that car as a CPO.
