Everything in this country runs on profit, so if theyre offering these maintenance services for FREE than yes they will go by their small print details as to when and how these services will be completed to the T. Honestly, things like an oil change you shouldnt wait on them to take care of, get it done by a trusted shop with good oil for under $70 every 5k and have that off ur mind. Then whenever your car tells you its ready to have bmw oil change service, take it in and get a free one, just dont get another change within say 3k miles of whenever you're gonna be ready for a free changeup, thatd be wasted money. But like if they say you dont get ur first till what is it, 13k miles? Fuck that, get everything changed at 5k, 10k miles then let them at 13k miles and then change it every 5k miles from there and so on. So u get a free one every 3 changes basically

No reason to read to far into this, hardly worth getting worked up about or soiling your relation with ur dealer, unless theres oodles of other reputable bmw dealers in ur area. Now if theyre being assholes about it or snearing, etc. THEN you can take it up with BMWNA, but if theyre just following their protocol, fuck it and get it done at a shop, this isnt a $500 maintenance we're talking here
