But I don’t believe brake fluid or coolant are part of the Insp.II anyway (unless it coincides with the SI display).
It certainly doesn't look like it!
But I only got the car 4 months previously and for a few years it only had oil services as it did hardly any miles. I wanted to have a good starting point.
Just do 30,000 miles a year in it, and do Oil > Oil > I1 > Oil > Oil > I2 at 3 month intervals and you'll be into the realms of 'over servicing'
Mine was serviced slightly more frequently on the oils/brake fluid due to track days / ring trips - so I was never overly-interested in what the OBC/SI was telling me.
To be fair the OBC/SI on the M tells me b*gger all, just flashes up a mileage when I start it.
Unlike my E90 that tells me about dates as well for service, brakes, cabin filter, spark plugs, brake pads, brake fluid, MOT, etc. Maybe you've been driving those new models too much!
My MC had an Inspection 2 in July 13, an oil service and cabin filter in October 14, oil services in October 15 and June 18 which is why I wanted to get everything sorted before I started caning it around the NC500 and Lake District.
