BMW RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS
we want to help you understand what is going on with the health of your BMW. There are recommended timeframes to get maintenance depending on what BMW model you drive. Typically, your BMW should get service every 10,000 miles. The iDrive system provides service and maintenance information right onto the Control Display behind the steering wheel. If you wish to manually check this data, go to “CAR,” “Vehicle Status,” and “Service schedule”—all through iDrive. You’ll then want to select an entry for more detailed info. There are three symbols to be mindful of. If you see OK in green, then no service is needed at that time. If you see a yellow triangle, the deadline for scheduled maintenance is approaching. If you spot a yellow exclamation point, the service deadline has passed—you’ll want to make an appointment as soon as you can.
