08 BMW in my sig. Changed the oil and didn't reset. Original fillw as BMW brand 5-30 and showed 7k remaining. New at reset shows 15k miles. Now I changed to M1 0-40 with 7k on the minder. I can say it doesn't merely count down the clock of mileage with confidence as it's is on 6k with me having put over 2k on it since the 7k mark.
Why wouldn't it automatically realize this is fresh oil? Or at least bump up to say 8 or 12k from the pre-oil change 7k life remaining? All confusing to me....
What is the deal with the E90 oil life monitors? Accurate? yes? No? somewhere inbetween? I'd like to know how it functions in real life as well as how it was intended to functions.
