i had a 97 328i and i had the same question to my advisor.he told me the computer takes into account the style of driving,start-stops,etc.so if you drive your car hard through the city it will need service sooner than if you drive in a more mild manner.but if your indicators havent moved at all maybe there is room for concern.hope i helped.


I have a 2000 528i - now has 16500 miles on it, but as yet I have not had an indication that service is required. This bothers me for a number of reasons. One is the possibility that there is something wrong with the service required indicator, and my warranty will be nailed. Also, how do I plan a road trip for several hundred miles, when I am concerned that service indicator is imminently going to illuminate? I am impressed with everything about this car, except the variable manitenance program. Comments welcome! ROry Kay Warrenton VA
