I hit the 10k mark tonight in my 325i and decided to check the service menu to see when I needed to think about heading in to get an oil change / service. The iDrive screen shows that I have 9500 miles left before I need to go in for service. Can this be right???

There's some debate on what that mileage number actually means..

1) It is specifying the odometer reading of when the car needs to be serviced.
2) It specifies the number of miles remaining before it should be serviced.

The manual states it is #2, but I have my doubts. I drive it pretty hard, so I can't imagine it can go 19,500 before a service. I can bet though that if I take it in now, my dealer is going to tell me to go another 9500 before they'll change it for free.

Thoughts?
