1200 miles / service due in 7000 miles

014 428IX
1200 miles
In service for 5 weeks

Picked up the car with 80 miles on it and it showed service due in 9000 miles. I guessed that as soon as it went into any milage the service due indicator went from 10,000 to 9000. Drove the car for about 3 weeks and noticed the service due indicator showed 8000, and now at 5 weeks it shows service due in 7000 miles. I spoke too BMW Genius (funny name for people who don't know much about BMW's) and they don't have a clue. I plan on bringing it too be checked but I have little faith in the service department based on many previous experiences. Any idea on what might be causing this?

FYI - the service indicator is the one that shows momentarily when you start the engine.

Totally normal. It's called Condition Based Service Intervals. There is a whole section in the manual about it.

Yes, it's you driving style that estimates the service interval. More city=sooner service.

Still sounds messed up to me unless he does 1000 miles a week or drives like a nutter
