Display query?

Post by ITBarbie » Thu Dec 23, 2010 3:02 pm

Hi

Just got in the car this morning and saw this little clock on the dash and I can't say I've ever seen it before. It goes out after a little while. My car has just been into BMW for an inspection service and I was told there was an oil change. As far as I can tell this is to indicate there needs an oil change after reading my manual?

Can anyone advise me as I may have misread the error?

Hi Penny,

If memory serves it to advise the brake fluid requires changing ( every two years ) nothing urgent to worry about.

Happy Christmas, Phil.

Yep, bi-annual brake fluid change, no desperate rush - had mine done a couple of moths ago at the same time as the Inspection 2 (or was that Inspection 1) or maybe Inspection 2 lite :?
Cheers

So ... do we agree it means that Penny was late for work, and therefore the clock symbol appeared? :poke:

Thanks chaps. I thought maybe it was an x5 advent calendar as the x does everything else :-)
