Hey Guys,

The "Vehicle Check" for my car is overdue, reading about -70 miles due to a roadtrip I took the last 3 days. What is the vehicle check anyway and is it required? I thought it was the 15k or 30k checks which I already had done earlier, maybe they just didn't reset the indicator? Is it really needed or should I just reset it myself so it stops bugging me. Car is all fine otherwise.

I think you'll need to bring the car to the September 20th Meet in Bear Mtn, since it's around the corner from you and we'll check your car out then.

Since the E60 has "conition based service" I would let the dealer see the problem and have him reset the system.

I think they have just forgotten to reset the counter in your case...

Yeah I guess I should just email my SA and check up with him. As for the meet i am not ignoring you guys I swear!! I have my cousins wedding that day on Sept 20th. I think the last meeting you guys had I was either in Jamaica or Poland. I've been really busy this summer. I did go to the BMW CCA VDC tour earlier in the summer in Port Jersey though but only met with Jon who presented the thing -- was cool tho! One of these days..

If you don't show up somewhen... they will organize the next meet in front of your house.
They're getting closer, Mark, watch out...
