Why do the cars service lights not recommend a change till more like 8-10k miles? |
Car will ask for service at 1200 miles when delivered. Not sure why yours wasn't…someone reset the interval?
BMW won't CPO a car that hasn't been run in properly…e.g. near the 1200. |
Maybe it's only on M cars? |
Yes. Only 'full' M require the 1200 run in service. Not sure of M50i. The owners manual will tell you.
