Oil Service Overdue in red! Will affect my BMW service history ?

[Aksh]

Hi ladies and gents

My oil service light is currently showing red. The question is will this affect my service history?

The shocking part is that i noticed only today my date is backdated 2 months and it only came on in Red 2 days ago , but I did get the yellow light for 10 days prior the red light.

My car is out of Motor Plan and has no extended service plan , and was not thinking of taking it to BMW directly , but to a BMW independent mechanic which I did an oil service in 2014 April , but BMW have a special for Cash Oil Service for R1000, cheaper than R200 what the independent mechanic quoted me and the positive of it being done by BMW

If i now do it by them . Will this affect my service history for Example will it be noted in the service car history it was over due by 2 months? Will they even do it since technically its 2 months overdue.
I didn’t even know my date was incorrect . Think it must have gotten changed when it last went to BMW.

Please help guys , not sure if I must do if it negatively affects ? Please advise fanatics

E90 320i

Thank You

Look those indicators is like it says, indicators and there to advice us of when we need to do what. Regarding passing it, that's ok but don't make it a habit.

Regarding your service plan with EG (don't know them) but you might want to read their terms and condition. If it happens to be a problem on the contract between you and them then do it yourself and don't tell them. Remember they don't note down every time you visit them what the indicators says, they expect you to rock up to them with those things.

Passing it, personally don't worry but get that done. Regarding your service plan, read the terms and conditions and if any problem then do the oil service yourself or if you really don't know then reset the interval yourself (don't really recommend this as it means you will run on same oil for 2 service cycles (not bad but not a thing to do).

Hope this brings some comfort.

It will get noted down on the service history by the bmw tech. Don't think you can stop that if you take it to bmw. :sorry:

Why don't you service it yourself or are you planning on resale the E90?

Am I blind. I did not read anything about a service plan.

BMWs service intervals are bad enough. I would not exceed them. Just have it done asap there's nothing you can do about it now anyway.
