When I say we were late on the last oil change, I mean later than I would have planned on, not factory spec. late. I did quite a lot of reading on these forums when we first got the car, and oil changes was a long thread. After everything I read there I decided to be prudent and change it every 7,000 miles. But, no, we didn't get an alert from the iDrive.
I really do not like the fact that there's no dip stick on the N20/26; you can't smell the oil, or see it.
My car is a 2002 Jaguar X-Type with 165,000 miles on it. Runs great, I've kept oil changed on it to btwn 5K to 7K miles, Mobile 1 oil and filter every time.
