X5 service intervals

[bigtom]

Recently bought my X5 3.0 D 2005. It has run almost 66.000 km, but still has not been to Service 1. The SIL still have two yellow marks left. Normal or a reason to be worried about someone resetting the SIL?

I believe(I could be wrong) the SIL is not on mileage but more on fuel usage.
So if you drive aggressively (burn more fuel) it's possible the SIL got reset before 30000, 60000 etc.
The reverse is also true the SIL last beyond 30000, 60000.

Need to drive more agrresively, that's all

Thanks, - I am afraid I'm burning both fuel and adrenalin on the road, but I'm worried about the owner before me, are there good reasons to believe that he have been resetting the SIL to avoid the rather high cost of Service 1?

A call to the dealer may help, they can look up the service history. (of what was done there or course, not at indy shops)
