1,200 mile service at 1,400 miles?

fishskis · 07-17-2011, 12:56 AM

I currently have about 700 miles on my new M3; I might be driving out of town and not returning until my car is at about 1,400 miles. Is it ok to do the service at 1,400 or should I try to do it out of town closer to 1,200 miles? Thanks.

I had a similar issue and did not receive the first service untill about 1350. I just continued to follow pre first service regulations untill i could get it into the dealership. Ive had no issues.

Well if you can get it done out of town, the good thing will be that you can drive back reving past 5500 :P

I did mine at 1450. Had the same issue with the trip. I even ran it over 5500 rpm on a few occasions. I'm at 5,500 miles now and everything is great.

Being only 200 miles, I really doubt that anything bad would happen. As long as you get the whole service done, you'll be fine.

I had almost 1800. The mech told me it was not an issue at all as long as you stick to the guidelines (I did). I've had not problems since.
