However, today, I received an automatic email reminder from the garage suggesting a minor service was now due (according to the teleservice system information they received).

My car, 218i, has now done 22,000 kms and the message on the dashboard says service due in 9000km or June 2017. So, I haven't reached the kms yet, but it seems I have met the time.

Does it really need a minor service (no oil change has been done yet)?

Any thoughts on this?

Many thanks.
Don't question the need to take it in due to mileage. You've hit the elapsed time so take it in. By the way how much is a quart or liter of motor oil in Benelux ?
