FYI, BMW changed their 15K mile (~25K km) interval to 10K miles (16K km) with the advent of the F30, so you might well expect the current readings.

yes, I read somewhere that BMW changed the interval on some(not all?) models made after july 2013..my car is made after that, So this could be the answer..but strange that the idrive indicator is not updated then..
