Your car had a life before you bought it. It was born at the factory, and grew up in transit and while in dealer inventory. Check the build date on the door jamb label...it's probably several months before you took delivery. The result is that the oil is now a year old. Future maintenance timing, even with less than the mileage limit, will make more sense on the calendar.

This changes, the schedule can be variable. The system takes into account driving habits and environmental factors based on CBS

Actually, CBS= Condition Based Servicing, a BMW algorithm which indicates when maintenance is needed based on actual usage.
