Service reminder X5 2016

[chamindab]

Hi can someone pls tell me how the service reminder mileage can increase with time.
Few weeks ago it said service due in 3,800 km, now it says service due in 4,500km. Should'nt this decrease with time rather than increasing. It was originally 8,000km, soon after the oil change.
Thanks
Kind regards,
Chami

Either it's an intelligent algorithm that adjusts on the go depending how you drive your car (highways vs city driving, short trips vs longer trips and so on) - or maybe it was 3800 in miles and now it's in km?

I see a similar behavior on mine: is not increasing but is not going down while I put miles on the car; it shows me that breakes need service in 3,100 miles...for the last 2,000 miles!

and it wouldn't be an issue but I'm almost out of warranty/maintenance at 50k miles

The brake indicator won't go below 3,100 miles. You need to wait for the yellow triangle warning indicator that shows up next to the status or just go in and ask the Service guys to check the depth of the brakes. Some nice SA's will allow a certain amount of mm leadway to get the brakes changed due to soon to be out of warranty concerns.

No worries, I went through the same thing a few months ago.

Also, the miles shown on the dashboard at startup, will always show the lesser of the distance for a specific type of service. In your case, it shows 3,100 since is less than the 8,000 for the oil change. At some point, the oil change distance will decrease enough to be the one displayed at startup. Go to the Service details under Vehicle status in iDrive and you'll see each service with their respective distances/dates.
