How long from yellow to red bar?

How much fuel does it need to consume before the yellow service bar will turn into red? I know that it is about 650 liters per green bar...so is it also true for the yellow bar? The reason I'm asking is that I'm currently about 550-600miles away from home when I saw the yellow inspection 1 light come on. So, I would rather have the service done when I get home. Will it turn into a red bar during these 600 miles of highway driving (assuming that I'm averaging 19-20mpg)? I'm not too concern about the engine oil/filter as I just swapped it out about 3k miles ago...My only concern is that BMW may use the "driving too long with a red bar indicator" excuse to void my warranty if this ever come up in the future. Any suggestions? Thanks.

don't worry about it.. the dealer is not going to complain about you not bringing in the car on time... its your car and you are thier customer... your warranty is fine.

Agree with Hayaku. Done it before, no worries.
