OBTW, in addition to the countdown timer, there is also a suggested date of 8/2007 I believe based on what the BC knows of my driving habits.
As a follow up: I am at 3600mi and the interval now says 15000mi (went from 16000 to 15000 at 3500mi mark) My suggested date 7/2007. But as you said, I will also hit the one year anniversary "free" oil change long before 18000mi (only 7 months away). I also changed oil and filter at 1500mi (the old BMW recommended break-in oil service interval)
