Well, after 1 yr of outstanding e60 satisfaction, I've encountered my first glitch. My service clock has frozen at 4600 miles (left until service) and I receive an check oil symbol even thought my I-drive subdirectory says all is well. I'm leaving my car for the week with my SA while I'm away on vacation - may be I'm looking at a CIP upgrade from 16.xx to 20.xx? <_<

I wouldn't worry too much. BMWs are such that if its a lemon, it'll be a lemon from the first month on. Probably just a software glitch.

A whole week; what the mileage on your car before you leave it . . . just in case someone wants to "test drive."

Don't forget to check the back seat for used and discarded items when you pick it up!
