Does anyone know the earliest you can take your car in for the 'Vehicle Check'? Here's my situation... My service/maintenance warranty expires on September 30th. I have about 2500 miles before my car is due for the 'Vehicle Check'. Obviously, I want to get it in there and get everything taken care of before my warranty expires. However, I have seen posts where people have taken their cars in too early and BMW wouldn't perform the maintenance until it's actually due. I was thinking the service indicator lights up when you're under 1,000 miles but can't recall for certain. I would think, if the light is on, they would service it. Of course, I'm driving as much as possible. My car is now the "family" car that goes on all of the long trips, taking the kids to practice, my wife is driving it since her commute is longer, etc... However, I don't think we'll be able to put 2500 miles on it in 6 weeks.

I had a similar situation where I wanted 2 get service done earlynand they told me BMW won't pay unless it's 0-1000 miles. maybe you'll get someone on they're good day and they'll approve it
