The harder you drive the quicker the next service due to high fuel consumption. Simple

Well you know what they say about assuming right?

UPDATE: The counter finally went down to 14,000 miles after 600 actual miles of driving.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I have an E90 2006 with over 200k miles. I "discovered" that after 183k you cannot reset the counter for oil service. BMW design fail. Only can be rest to 0 miles and negative counter. Anyone aware of this?

Yes, doing a search on this site will show you numerous post re that topic. Basically you have to manually track after that mileage which is really not that big of a deal in my opinion. But yes a fail that you have to do that.
