I won't be changing it again for another 7500 to 10K miles since I just changed it at 7500K miles. So, starting at 10K miles it's going to start nagging me to change the oil and won't stop until it's reset which won't be until at least 15500K miles.

What am I missing?
Ok, I think I see what you are saying.... You are correct, iDrive will "nag" you if you wait another 7500 miles, blowing past the 10k mile mark, before you actually change your oil. That is one of the reasons I like to change my oil every 5k miles. It keeps the "mileage math" simple AND keeps the milage timing in line with CBS.
