Service for a certfied vehicle

After 5k miles(current 55k got it at 50k)), the Service signs are flashing. Do i need to get the service only at BMW as the vehicle is under warranty( certified)?

or i can get the service done at any independent store having BMW trained mechanics?

no you can service it anywhere you want. make sure you dont have the maintance program extension, as bmw will cover it.

By "service signs", do you mean oil change lights or check engine or...?
I assume you mean CPO by "certified"? That doesn't cover oil, etc.,
but as killcrap pointed out, if you have Ext Maint., that will cover it.
Otherwise, DIY oil change or, hit an Indie.

It is a simple oil change, and the sign has gone!

The owner is friendly and seems to be knowledgable...110$ for an oil change, synthetic,,not sure if that is expensive or ok price
