Thumbs up F20 118d oil change

Hi there, could any one advise about oil change please. I have just purchased used a 118d with 16,000 miles, the car is in excellent condition but has not yet had a service. The computer says another 2,000 mls to service is there anything to worry about or should i have the oil changed? Advice appreciated.

This is normal, and recommended from BMW. I am in the same boat, with 23000 km and almost two years of driving without any oil change since the car was new. I don't think this is a good idea, but I choose to trust BMW mostly because I am on a prepaid service plan.

Thanks very much for the info, as you mentioned your car is on a pre paid service plan, i realised my car is also so i will just keep an eye on the oil level and top up as required. Once again thanks.
Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.

Yes, just follow bmw's advice. Last week I made an appointment to take mine in. It has 26000Kms now and the idrive says I need to go in 900Kms. First thing the service guy asked me when i said I needed an appointment for oil change, was if the car had told me so. When i told him about the 900Km he said ok. I guess they must get quite some people asking for oil service earlier on.
As you say, just top it up when needed and take it in according the idrive
