First service overdue??!
I got my 1M back in May, I am only up to 1000km (600 miles) and already got a message that I am overdue for the first service...
Should I wait to 1200 miles or go right away?

I was told by my CA that the computer will tell you when you need service ... that mileage is only one factor ... how you drive the car ... the time period are also factors ... I agree with the comment to call your CA.
I had the opposite issue ... my 1M was telling me that I didn't need service until 1300 miles ... the CA told me to bring it in at the 1200 ... those miles were all highway miles driving it back from Florida where I bought it to its home here in PA.

haha, my SA told me the same thing... actually, I ve been very gentle with it, it's just that my work place is only 5 miles away, so I do a lot of short trips.. that must be the reason...

Most of the services are TIME or Mileage. Listen to the computer and take it in!
