Speaking of - my M550 was due for an annual service based on time only (still short on miles) in March. Now that we’re in April, I start getting a nasty “your engine might explode if you don’t service the car immediately” type message on start up. Annoying enough that I’m getting the oil changed today, so I guess it did its job. 😁
