I'd forgotten how much hard work you are Fox
Hi loltim
From what I understood from a similar thread on BMWland a few years back, anything up to 1,000 miles over is fine - they will just do the service.
With anything over 1,000 there is meant to be some procedure that they do (some further authorisation, I guess from the dealer principle) - in reality, they will do it, but might make a note of it on the service database.

The feeling is mutual, I can assure you. On the one hand you dont think there is a 'certain mileage', then you make references to 1k miles. Either there is a certain mileage (Which I bet there is!) or there isn't.
I wasn't saying 1k was the certain mileage, I simply gave you an example. It could have been -1 to +3000, as long as the BMW guy agrees and stamps it who cares?
Obviously 50k is stupid and just another case of you going from one extreme to another to try and prove a point.

Its not about whether you get the stamp? They will stamp it whenever they do any service regardless of whether its over due, been done at an independent, never done or whatever. Work done = stamp.
The issues could come much later when you make a warranty claim or try to trade the car in etc.

It doesn't work like that, a stamp is evidence the work was done, not that it was done at the correct time, or in the right order nor is it approval for warranty purposes. It just says when it was done and which dealer did it. The warranty side of things is separate.
Yes correct...
The stamp is merely a record it was done, not proof its all ok. If the stamp shows you are late you could have issues.
