2013 service at 15K miles
So I had the required service yesterday as I was within 200 miles of the computer stating it was time. The only thing performed was an oil/filter change. I asked specifically if there were any software updates for the ECU/TCU but was told no. Interestingly I also mentioned if the computer would be flashed so that service intervals would now reflect those of the 2014 M5s, i.e. oil/filter change every 10K miles versus the previous recommendation of 15K miles. Again, I was told no and my next service is showing on the car now as needed in another 14K miles after yesterday's service visit.
Anyone had anything different when servicing their 2013? I find it odd that the 2014s are getting serviced every 10K miles but the 13s are still being serviced at 15K miles when the bloody cars are essentially identical. Bish |

Baron will do oil changes once a year no matter the mileage. Come to think of it I've never been to a dealership that refused an oil changes based on mileage. |

My dealer is very sensitive in doing this scheduled maint as well, they will only allow the work to be done (free of charge to me) +/- 500km or +/- 7days from the in service date. Otherwise, the Service Advisor may start to give me the run around type of story.

I changed mine midway but they wouldn't cover it. They will pay only during regular schedule. But I think both year cars should be the same intervals.

So, I just had my 1200 mile service done at 1003 miles, and it reads that next service is due in 12000 miles. So maybe it depends on the dealer? |

It's condition based , not always exactly 15k , can be more or less depending on driving habits etc

When is the car really due for maintenance? Does it really have to be exact mileage such as 14000 or 15000 miles? I thought that it is either around those mileage or 1 year from delivery whichever comes first.

the service light or cbs will automatically come on when it reaches the preset mileage, in this case, for Canada, it's 20,000km of pre lci and 15,000km for lci. For those who does not drive the equivalent of that in a year, then you can still discuss the scheduled maintenance with the dealer.
