I've had my 07 530xi for 2 weeks and did a lot of work travel during the period for a total of 1,800 miles.
When I bought the car it said the next oil service in 11,000 miles. 1,800 miles later it still says change the oil in 11,000 miles.
Am I missing something here? Shouldn't this be a number that moves lower the more I drive? Same for brakes and all other items in the service window, no change.

My Ride: 2012 535i X-driveSpace Grey/Black Dakota, Fineline Anthracite Trim; Executive Package (Rear View, Lumbar, Nav, Voice, SIRIUS, HiFi Pro) Technology Package (Hi Beam Assist, Lane Departure, Blind Spot Detection, Surround View) BMW Apps (Apps, Smart Pho
Model Year: 2012
I've had my car over a year and the rear brake monitor still shows 50,000 km (31,000mi) while the front brake monitor has gone from 50,000km to 47,000km (29,000mi). My oil interval goes down slowly in city driving and jumps up after a number of highway runs. My retired 325i used to do the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it but keep an eye on it over a longer period of time.
