Yep Concord BMW is my dealer and they're really strict on it. I bought my car there too. I called to set up an appt and I told the receptionist that I have about 250 miles to go and she wouldn't do it. I told her no I want the appt. for next week and I drive about close to 300 miles/week. When I did bring it in, it had about a 100 miles to go and they did the free one. It was like a week short of exactly a year.
