Recalculation of service interval after oil change...

hey guys!

I have '07 //M Roadster. It had 17,200km (10,750 miles) on it and I changed the oil&filter this past weekend (TWS 10W-60).

Before I changed the oil, the service interval read 6,800km to go (24,000km).

After I changed the oil, the service interval when I start the car, now reads 1,100km to go.

My questions: why does it say this? (does it used condition based intervals?) and will I need to have it reset at that time by the dealership?

Thanks!

So after a bit of reading, I did find out how to reset if I wanted to.

I did also see a note on the BMW technical bulletin that said "do not reset intervals if customer wants more frequent oil changes between intervals".

So, I got all my questions answered, except why the service interval recalculated itself after my oil change? From what everyone's said on the board its all about gas consumption/mileage... thoughts?
