i think the idea is you bring the car in now. your answers will be opinion based and not worth a penny. If your oil pump is failing, you have abotu 3 miles. if your washer fluid is low, then nothing bad will happen.

it means you bring your vehicle to bmw and wait a couple of hours, they might make you coffee. then you end up with a list of problems with low severity (wiperblades, error message correction i didnt know about) and charge you $400. thats my experience
