Service display
If the time remaining until the

in addition to the date or mileage
display. The Service lettering is
displayed continuously.
If the service display
appears more than a month
before the service date, the
stored date must be adjusted

situation can occur if the battery
has been disconnected for a
longer time.
Consult a certified workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW

the date.
