Inspection at 20K?

drchuck72 · 12-29-2011, 09:01 AM

hey Gang,

I did my second oil change at around 17.5K (I did an interim oil change at around 10K so I drove an extra couple thousand miles before the next one). at 20K miles, the car says it wants an inspection service. What service would this be? Normally, inspections coincide with every other oil service, in my previous experience so what is up with this inspection? If there is a specific issue, my mechanic should probably be able to find out what it is by hooking the car up to the computer, yes?

Anyways, just thought this was kind of strange. Any input would be appreciated.

I think that is just the reminder for you to do you state inspection. There is a reminder setting in the iDrive, but I don't recall how to change/update it.

That sounds reasonable.

Thanks
