I'm very pissed today after learned that if you drive more than 6000 miles in 12 months, you are NOT allowed to have a free oil change under the free maintenance program. You either drive less than 6000 in 12 months or wait for the indicator to turn yellow. In my case, my wife is not going to drive more than 15K in 2 years times.

Worst of all this is BMW failed to send advanced notification to any of the owners. They just sent an note to their dealers and didn't instructed their dealers to inform their customers. Had I know this, I would changed my X5's oil last month when the old policy was still in effect. This new one took effect on Sept 1st, 2010.

Someone should update the Oil change article on this forum.
