I've now put 5400kms on my E60 520d (06 model, January delivery); my service interval indicator has "dropped" at 23000kms left (when I took delivery, indicator was at 30000kms);
(Front brakes are due for service at 46000kms
Rear brakes at 50000kms
Oil is due for service at 23000kms now)
Is this totally normal ? I'm driving very cautiously, never exceeding 3500RPMs, respected brake-in period till 2500kms. Only thing is I drive 40-50% in the city: could this explain that ?
Thanks for your advice

My 525d has already 24000km's and over 2200km i have to take him to the dealer for a service.
front brakes in 33000km and rear brakes 23000km. I never exceed 3500 rpm

OK thanks. I guess if I was on the highway the whole day, these figures would go up...

It appears BMW have implemented a random function in the countdown for service indicators! I've seen mine stop going downwards and actually start going upwards again! (Particle filter) And now my front brake pads have stopped at 4600miles for the last 500miles!?

When they go orange/red see a dealer... (Although this isn't always true as I've seen items go back to 'normal'!)
