5K oil change, service interval re-set

Will be doing 5K oil change, should I reset the oil service interval? Will be taking it back to the dealer for 10K service.

If you're doing oil changes to split the interval for the included oil changes you do not want to reset the oil change indicator. The dealerships will use the iDrive oil change indicator to determine when they will perform the included oil changes, if you reset it at 5K miles and the iDrive interval is 10K then the dealership won't want to do your change until 10K after your last change, all you will have done is push off the next service (and also lost 1 included service since they limit the free changes based on miles and/or time and you'll have pushed the change out of the included window).

Thanks for the info. I was thinking the same as I don't want to miss out on free oil change.

Exactly what I did on my Z4M and what I plan for the M2
