OK this is very cool (at least to me anyway) I noticed last night that my car was telling me that I was now due for an oil change, well, I have been putting off going to BMW because I need the update to get my brow lights back but was kind of dragging to see if V19 comes out next month. Also my pass. sensor light is back on too because BMW had to order a part and when they put in V17.1 they forgot that they had to put that part in, so with all these warnings going on I figured I would call today and just make the appointment, WELL here is the COOL part.... Right before I go to call on my cell phone I hear my home phone ringing but I was up stairs so I hear a message so I go down to play it and it's my BMW service advisor leaving a message to tell me that "GET THIS" my car called to say it needed an oil change so he was calling to make an appointment. HOW COOL, then he called my cell phone to tell me the same thing. I still can't believe how great that is that my car called the service station (well I know it didn't call, but sends the data to my service advisor and they call you) BMW really got points from me today ... My first oil change too so maybe that is why I'm so in awh with this whole thing... anyone else think that is cool??????

Thats very cool, as it was'nt enough the car reminds you but calling others for service. Those little features is what makes me stay with the brand.

Very cool, but a little disheartening; with all of its' technological advances my 545i hardly needs me anymore. BMW is making people obsolete.
