These cars don`t have green/yellow/red bars!
Read the manual? I was told by BMW in the UK that "there is a 250
mile window" around the mileage countdown. Trouble is mine said 750
miles to go but in only 100 it`s already -150. Apparently the mileage
will start flashing if the service is way overdue. Also the manual
says to change the oil annually if you do less than about 6000 miles a
year.

A filter change in between oil changes should be more than adequate if
you worry about it, and is very easy---it`s on top and you don`t even
get dirty. You have over 7 quarts of highest-grade synthetic (not just
K-Mart synthetic), and it will indeed last a year or whatever the
computer bars say. Listen to the engineers that designed the car.
