BMW m2 oil change before break in?
Hello,
I have a 2018 BMW m2 with 600 miles. It was bought new but had 150 miles on it since it was sitting in the dealer lot for few months. iDrive is asking for a oil change before the break in period? What would be your advice. Thanks!

Oil change is due one year from the manufacture date on low mileage BMWs. I would have the oil changed.

I think they'll just change the oil as it's over a year old now. You'll probably get another notification at 1200 miles and then they'll change the oil again and change the diff oil.

The dealer should have said something about the situation when you purchased the car. I would talk to the SA and explain your situation to see what they recommend. If it was my personal car and I know that I will reach the 1200 in a few weeks, I would just continue to drive it until I was close to the 1200 mile break in period mark and then have the full maintenance performed.
Enjoy the little beast! |

I was in a similar situation a couple weeks ago with my car coming up on 1 year service but still being a few hundred short of the break in service. I made life easy by making sure I drove enough to be due for both at the same time. If that's not feasible, just call the SA and ask what to do.
