Is my servicing up to date ?

I recently bought a 530D F10 (2013) with just over 100k on the clock. It came with a 3rd party warranty that insists that servicing is kept up to date in accordance with the manafacturer schedule.

However, I'm at a loss as to what the correct servicing procedure is for the vehicle. BMW tell me it is condition based servicing and the car will decide when a service is due. Is this correct? IE: It isn't every x months or so many 1000 miles (whichever comes first) ?

The last service in the iDrive was at 97k in September 2020 by a BMW specialist.

The car (and the Cardata report) is telling me that it is next due in 17000 miles in September 2022 !

I asked the warranty company and they said they have no idea (not helpful at all).

Any ideas would be much appreciated as I don't want to fork out £450 for a service if it doesn't need it.

Car is currently on 101457 miles. This is the servicing that has been done so far in iDrive - Is this all up to date as far as the BMW schedule goes (and if not why is the car telling me the next service is in 17k or 2022) ?

7/10/2014 - 14972 - Engine Oil - Microfilter

8/7/2016 - 40941 - Engine Oil - Microfilter - Brake Fluid

6/9/2017 - 44210 - Front Brake Pads

20/7/2018 - 61111 - Engine Oil - Microfilter - Air cleaner element - Fuel filter - Brake fluid - Vehicle check

23/5/2019 - 82671 - Engine Oil - Microfilter

2/9/2020 - 97235 - Brake Fluid - Rear Brake Pads

12/8/2021 - 10500 - Engine Oil (This one is not in iDrive but is in service book - the dealer who sold it me did an oil change)

Thanks in advance for any advice

Looks a little erratic early on for oil services, there is a long mileage interval ~15k to ~41k, but remember it is condition based.

Next date/mileage is almost certainly correct, from the recent oil service. (Miles countdown and next brake fluid change). You can see from the iDrive service menu what else may be due.
