Service info Please help

I got my 335 this monday.
since this was my second e90 just drove away from the dealership and the SA didn't have to give me a walk through.

However when i start my car it shows 25000, i.e. it says 25000 mi for service.
the previous 328 used to show 15000 and slow decreased as i kept driving.

I am worried since the car now has 100mi on it and tomorrow i am planning on driving to Atlanta to meet my parents, its gonna be 600mi when i am back.


did the dealer not reset the service interval on my 335?.

I am sure the oil change shouldn't be 25000 mi away.

please help i need to resolve this before tomorrow morning when i leave to atlanta 250 mi one way drive

so heres the thing. im assuming you are probably looking at another service interval (brakes, microfilter, etc.) the oil changes on the E90's are every 15000 miles. just scroll through the BC button on your turn signal switch and it should tell you what services are required at what mileage. btw, what color interior do you have? i ordered mine from my job with the terra black dakota leather with brushed aluminum trim. same exterior color too and the same rims.

It will probably change as you drive it. The timing of the interval is based on your mpg or so I heard. Give it a couple of weeks and see if it changes.

The service system is a condition based system, it will change as you drive. The more highway miles you do, the longer the time between services. Them more stop and go you do, the shorter the time between services. Take your drive to Atlanta and see how it adjusts.
