Nope, not heard of this at all if I'm honest. How many miles have you done in your car now?

I'm just up to 6000, but not due in for a service until another 15000 miles have been completed.

I also have the 5yr service plan and no, I've never had a call I've done 10k and my car is 11 months old!

The staff at your dealership dearly misses your 1M and wanna go for a ride with it again, of course merely "to check if everything's fine".

...or they gonna replace the front fender liners shortly.

Bmw told me that I should bring mine in when I hit the 1200 mile mark to change the oil on the diferential.

I only 500 miles in...

Has anyone done this?

Yes, everyone did, some of us had to beg to or threaten ignorant dealers since that first oil service is a must for all 1Ms. Which means you have a good dealer. Check the sticky section for further information about oil changes and what is the right oil etc. You need to change engine oil + oil filter + manual trans oil + differential oil.

It's a way of generating some business, they'll find something that needs doing to the car and give you a nice bill for the pleasure.

Yes, think some people are confusing what you mean with the run in service.

I had a letter saying my car needs a service and please arrange, from the service manager at Scotthall. I ignored it as I too am on service package, run in done, and 15k miles till next on indicator.

Seeming as its taken the poor buggers almost 10 months to source the correct mats for my car I figured this was just a peculiarity. Bit like the little folder I was sent congratulating me on the purchase of my 1 series hatch...
