 Porsche - Porsche first service due - DP
My understanding of BMW servicing is that the intervals are entirely variable and calculated by an algorithm that monitors the number of cold starts, oil condition, driving style and so forth.

My M140i asked for its first service at 18,500 miles. It's now done 37k, and the OBC reckons it's still got 2,000 miles to go until the second one. However, it spends a lot of time on motorways at 70-80 mph and does a relatively small number of short journeys. By comparison, a mate of mine has an identical car, does the occasional track day in it, and his commute is only 6 miles each way. His asked for its first service at 9,000 miles (14 months old).

I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed of the fact I'm getting this sort of mileage between services, or that I'm still on my original brake pads all round at 37,000 miles! ;-) This car might be wasted on me.
