The guy at the dealership sent me this when I asked what was up, "Just talked to our service department and the sensor on the brakes reads differently than the oil indicator. You will reach a point when it drops significantly, as in a couple thousand miles potentially, because that sensor actually takes a cut reading. It is normal for that and occurs that way in every BMW vehicle."

Can anyone confirm this for me please?
The warning shows the closest service, the brake sensors are notoriously poor and often stick like this as the countdown has gone to fast.

You can check in the I drive for which item it is showing as next but my guess is brakes.
