Why don't you change the oil and filter now?
Not exactly expensive or difficult
But will save your engine wear and life

Interesting OP - I'd have an oil change to keep the car fit for purpose, but you could always mess with the service interval and f*ck your car up! Good luck. :laugh:

Change you oil then. Doesn't have to be done on the dot. BMW allow a 750 mile over allowance for warranty purposes, so should give you time to get the oil changed.

Remind me not to buy a car from you
 
Oh dear, don't think OP was expecting some of these replies!
How can I put this without offending you dear boy........change the oil now! :poke:
Consensus will say the same, sorry!
 
Thanks for reply just thought it could wait as don't do many miles but get the message maybe not everyone on this forum have the same insight into things as clearly as some seem to have

Oil degrades over age (day to day) Aswell as use (mileage) but from your original post you said it will come on in 150 miles time, so it appears to be a mileage related oil service light rather than time?
