1200 mile service at 1500?

BK9731 · 01-20-2015, 10:32 AM

So I'm new to M3 and not sure how important it is to get serviced right at 1200. I have an unexpected travel which will surely put my car over 1200 by the scheduled service date and no earlier service dates are available. Is it really bad to get 1200 mile service at let's say 1500? I wouldn't worry too much with other cars I had but this is m3...,

Your fine.

The car just has break in fluids. A few more hundred miles wont hurt anything.

I am 200 over. nothing wrong with it. I couldn't schedule a service date sooner enough

Fluids no different. Won't matter at all. Just flushing metal shaving from break in out of system. Prob nor even needed frankly as they don't use break in oil
