Did you reset i-drive after changed oil' filters and pads before? if not, reset i-drive warning right now.

I think that if your Brake Fluid is due for a change, this comes up as an Overdue Service.
The Brake fluid is changed purely on a time basis (rather than a computed figure from mileage and useage).
It can be seen by a small icon in the display between Speedo and Tacho. (No icon, no need to change)
IIRC, Brake fluid is changed every 2 years regardless.

hard to say, Ricky, it was all done in the dealership. does the idrive have to be reset manually after the car is serviced?
