How Soon for Servicing?
I already have close to 6k miles on my 325i I picked up in June. The other day the low windshield wiper fluid warning came on. Fixed that. Which made me wonder, since most cars they say change your oil every 3-5k miles, when should I schedule my first inspection and or oil change? The indicator when I first turn the car on says at 13k miles and manual is 14k miles? I don't mind doing it sooner since I have warranty.
When's the best times to get the car serviced? I appreciate any suggestions you guys may have.

Your car will tell you when its ready. I don't know about cars without iDrive, but there is a service menu with iDrive that will give you a target milage.

When it gets close to zero, let's say 500 or 250, you call the local BMW dealer's service department and say, "I would like to make an appointment for my car to be serviced."
They ask, "What's the car coming in for?" and you say "Scheduled service."
They then give you a date and time. On that date and time you bring it there.
I would imagine that the E90 is pretty much similar.
If you want the oil changed sooner than that, you will have to pay.
