Hey All,

So I only drive about 5,000 miles per year. I'm coming up on 12 months in my M2 (took delivery on December 19th of 2016) and sure enough I just ticked over 5,000 miles. I checked the service recommendations through iDrive and it says to service 12/2017 in 6,000 miles.

So which is it? Do I service in 12/2017 which will be exactly a year of ownership, or do I wait another 6,000 miles which would mean my first service, not counting the 1,200 mile one, comes at the 2 year mark?

I considered calling the dealer to ask, but of course they will say bring it in for service as service = $$$$. I'd like an unbiased opinion.

Thanks!

You do whichever comes first so in this case the date. You won't be paying for the oil change anyway so the dealer has no extra $$$ incentive.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks!
