100k extended warranty question!

I had some question regaurding my girlfriends car. She has a 335 vert.
She has the 100k extended warranty, she is at 55k miles but her service light came on and saids 2500 miles left until service. Its the orange icon with the car on lift picture and service written on bottom of the pic. So service is needed at 57,500 miles?
Does anyone know what the service is?
I know my car went thru the 60k service but my girls car is showing service at 57500 miles according to the indicator. Is it the same service?

Also what is changed/done at this service and is it all covered under the warranty?
Does the extended warranty cover brakes that makes grinding sounds?

I know maintance covers oil change and other fluids.

Can someone explain what maintance covers and what warranty covers.

Thanks!

Warranty covers things that break, and were not supposed to break.

Maintenance covers....maintenance. Anything that needs to be changed/replaced/checked on a regular basis (except tires).

The service her car is asking for could be the 60k service. The car is supposed to do a bunch of calculations to determine if you drive in harder or softer conditions. If the conditions are tougher, it will ask for service more often.

60K & 90K services discussed in this thread:

You need to do some checking an see if your girlfriend has the 100K extended warranty or the 100K extended maintenance plan. Any BMW SA can look it up on the computer if you don't have the paperwork.
