if your fluid does not make it the full 10k between scheduled services (or 1 year) REPORT THIS PROBLEM. we all went gaga for this new diesel technology, and if you're like me you're paying through-the-roof interest rates (because they dont know how it will be on the resale end). why should we be punished because of where we live or how we drive?
I especially urge those in cold climates experiencing issues to call in.
BMW needs to step up and deal with this.
My 09 35d just had its first dealer oil change at 6,000 miles, while in for this service, it also had remaining Adblue drained and fully filled. Vehicle was built December 2008 and as stated in the manual (or maybe I read this somewhere else), the fluid is good for one year. So if you have not fully depleted the Adblue in one year, dealer may drain and refill (what my dealer did, can't speak to others).

I guess most importantly, there was no charge for servicing the Adblue, in fact, no mention of it until I saw the service paperwork when I was picking up the vehicle.
