Seriously,
I went to the dealer to get my oil change, car has been sitting in the garage over the winter with weekly startups for the engine. I go to the dealership at 10,500 miles and they do my oil change (indicator light on my M said it still had 2000 miles to go). After I finish signing the paperwork the guy told me once my indicatior light (ie oil change light) goes on I should come back for inspection I.
I did not quite understand this. Is it because my car is a little over 2 years old? Is Inspection I based on time of the engine not miles? Just wondering here...

The service inspection lights are controlled by the amount of fuel thats circulated through your car.

You must drive the car really hard (WOT a lot) to be burning up that much fuel that quickly, my first inspection didn't happen until 16K or so.

I dunno anything about E46's but OT, ya ever get your wheel situation straightened out with UPS?

I don't drive my M3 all that hard, but I have about 2,600 miles and the indicator says I have about 11,900 miles before the first oil change. If I keep on driving like this, I am supposed to have my first oil change around 14,500 miles, which is about right.
