    Default Service Indicator

    Hello,
    I have come up with another questions, probably the most important one. So I just notice that the car has a service indicator, and its all the way to yellow. Plus the car has no service record, no hard copys and anything from the one BMW dealer I asked. So first question is how do I determine if just oil need to be serviced or everything else and what would be a good thing to assume need to be changed at 150,000 miles? I am going to call two other dealer today or tomarrow to see if they have any info on this car, so Ill cross my fingers for that one.

    As a minimum a oil and filter change is in order when the service is in the yellow. You'll be prompt with a message on the dash as to a "Inspection 1" or "Inspection 2" is due.

    Documented service history is your most reliable source. Its easy to reset the indicator-even if you havent done the service
