When is the first service. I got mine in dec 2012 so presume dec 2013 and the car will remind me?

Nearly exactly two years from buying car for me :)
Don't know if its different for the 4cyl engine
 
Its from date of manufacture - all the fluids deteriorate once in the car - There are many stop starts before we get to drive away from the showroom with a bunch of blooms for the missus or mother!
 
Every 2 years unless mileage dictates minimum will be oil, brake fluid and antifreeze change, thats what I will be expecting when mines 2 years old. For brake fluid you normally get a little clock symbol at 2 years to say its due for changing.

For me, 2 yrs was oil, filters and brake fluid.

Year 4 was oil, filters, brake fluid, plugs and some other minor stuff they charged a fortune for. Coolant I believe is considered lifetime by BMW (yeah right, just like the DCT fluid).
 
I got the service pack with mine and I don't think it includes a plug change. They (BMW) are cunning tho - A five year service package and in reality at normal miles we get a year 2 and a year 4 service. At least we are still ahead on price.
 
Not sure on the E89, but my 1 series E87, the first brake fluid isn't for 3 years. There after it's every 2 :idunno:

I Confirmed this with dealer.
 
I waited while mine was done;they said "an hour",needless to say,i was there for two :headbang:
