Just so Dennis is clear on this, BMW says to do services at 6000 
miles/10,000 km and 12,000 miles/20,000 km. If you want to do services 
at shorter intervals,  it's your wallet. Personally, I would not worry 
about doing the 64K service at 66K miles, but I would be hesitant about 
putting off the 12K service until 14K miles. Things are still breaking 
in at that mileage.
