exactly- same here but I do think driving habits can adjust the time frame.... if one is light on the pedal the next service could be the annual one but if you drive aggressively the service indicator could adjust. This was the case with my 2016 M5 (all of my M's that had such a process) because after my 1200 mile service, the indicator came up again mid calendar year to reservice the car (circa 5500 miles).

Little off topic, but has anyone figured out how much oil it takes to do an oil change? You can't drain all the oil because the oil cooler in front of the car is lower than the drain plug. I like to do an oil change in between the recommended intervals and I do those myself.

Is there it a DIY video out there on how to change the oil? When I squeeze under the chassis all I see is protective armor!

I eventually need to learn to change my own oil! But for now it's still under the complimentary services.
