My e60 530d was last serviced by a main dealer in December. So when I picked up the car, it was showing as 17k miles to the next oil service. Great.
Since then, I've done around 2k miles. We're in London, so just use the car at weekends to do 20-50 mile journeys out of London. It never does short trips to the shops. I always keep the revs below 2k when the car is cold. It's rarely driven hard apart from the odd squirt coming on to a motorway.
The car now says it wants an oil service in 1.5k. What the? Eh? No I didn't misread and leave out a 0. Can this be right?

If the car does the journeys like you say it does then something is deffinately up. You should get at least 13k miles on the trips you are doing if not more.

The CBS is a bit erratic, to say the least.
Sounds like a bug in the works, dealer should be able to resolve.

Can the dealer set the remaining mileage to run? The car was in for a warranty repair a couple of weeks ago (gearbox oil pan seal). Could they have messed something up if they'd hooked it up to the computer then?
