Was it your car that automatically called the dealer? The 5 series has that capabilitiy through BMW Assist.

That's how it usually works. Your car will place a service request automatically (30 days ahead of the schedule -- for example if the car says you need a safety inspection by 11/30, then it will place a service call 30 days earlier).

Once the car does that, the dealer will call you for an appointment.

I think you can look at the history of service calls in the settings menu -- it's been a while since I looked there but give it a try and I'll bet you'll see the date your car called in the request...
