There was some communication problems with the dealer and we ended up not having it done, although I changed the oil as soon as the car was redelivered, at about 1800 miles.
The service bulletin for the e9x M includes a differential oil change as well. That needs to be done at the 1200 mil mark as well... Just getting the oil changed won't suffice.

Huh? What!? Mine was reimbursed 4 months ago.
