My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!

I had my 530 in for service this week for the heated seat recall, and because I had a squeaky rear armrest that couldn't be fixed, so they replaced it. When I picked the car up 3 days (yes, 3 days) later, I read the service report and it said, "customer states low mileage oil service needed, low mileage oil and filter change performed." I think that makes sense, the rear arm rest squeaks, so you change the oil LOL. By the way, my car has 6200 miles on it!! I'm thinking of all the posts I have read about not wanting to wait until the scheduled maintenance interval for oil changes, and I guess my advice to every one is.....tell them your rear armrest squeaks!! What comes to my mind is when you go to the hospital to have your appendix removed, and they end up amputating your left leg!!

Anyway, my oil and filter are clean, and my armrest no longer squeaks!! And, I still have my left.....leg!!

Hahaha hey but they still fixed your arm rest right?? They probably performed the oil change since you were there... You're eligable for a annual oil change even if you havent reached the count down.
