    Just checked an R56, it's possible to select several different oil service interval lengths through coding. We'll likely begin offering it as a no-cost option during any scheduled service.

    :idea::idea: I'll get my next oil change at Best Motorwerks and I'd bet that the reminder will be set at 5,000 miles (30%) :ihih::ihih:

    I'm still going to change the oil myself. I find it therapeutic. When I get old like you & Nathan I'll have Anson do mine for me. :prrr:

    Not all of us have the luxury of a garage.

    The garage has nothing to do with it. Oil changes al fresco FTW! :biggrin5:

    That's interesting on the fuel consumption. Last oil change I had was in Sept. and was covered under the extended maintenance plan. I left the shop showing next due Sept 2014 and 15k. As I drive it "spirited" it's now down to showing due in 4400 mls! :wink:
