Hi Jean, I had the same issue. They don't tell you but the vehicle needs to at temperature (90C). It will work then....Today I called my dealer, because of this:

See the "overdue" and the "refill".
And also because of this:

Ooh, I still can drive 714 km while "2 days" overdue, ... hmmmm
[EDITED]I have less than 15000 km on the ODO reader.
Therefore I called my dealer to ask for a service appointment, and what did he say:
"The maintenance schedule is 20000 km, so you can wait, unless you are doing mainly off road, then it is 7500 km!"
"If you you want, you wait for the 20000 km, otherwise we reset your computer to 20000 km to avoid the warning"
I told them to reset the computer, but perhaps was too fast, I did some off road, probably less than 100km.
And the "infotainment warning" pops up that soon that perhaps they should reset it to 25000 km maintenance schedule to be able to drive without warning!
Hmmmm, not happy with my dealer, they don't know anything about 4x4 cars!
Not happy with Ineos either: they don't inform correctly the dealers I guess!
[edited] and concerning the oil level check ...
The oil level check should be performed this way:
- Vehicle must be stationary
- On even level
- Transmission in N or P
- Accelerator pedal not depressed
- And motor "running" (not shown in the instructions!)
These instructions should also be shown also on other screen warnings, like when the motor isn't running:

"Measurement aborted? .... Please check vehicle conditions"?"
Why doesn't Ineos just say:
The check can't be performed. Oil level check should be performed this way:
"Check vehicle conditions" is not informative enough!
- Vehicle must be stationary
- On even level
- Transmission in N or P
- Accelerator pedal not depressed
- And motor "running" (not shown in the instructions!)
I am not saying "25000 km" between services, but to set the computer to this number so that the maintenance warning pops up much later. Now I drove one month with a continuous warning, highly disturbing.
Same thing happened to me... -22 days. It is impossible to book a service with the dealer. It is even impossible to talk with mechanics.
"And if" a major fault occurs later and we owner's personally did the service... good luck fighting a true warranty claim. If I'm IA - you did it wrong even if you have a parts receipt. I dunno - but I'm not convinced.
Yes, that "nanny" mode is highly frustrating, and interesting to hear that BMW motor could have an oil consumption problem. I was surprised yesterday that the oil test showed that I have to pour 1 liter!
There is an agreed upon consumption rate set by a settlement here in US for a number of car brands. What was happening was a customer would lodge a complaint about oil consumption, and the MFG would say that it is within specification, so no relief for you.
In my case it is "overdue", therefore "-2 days", no problem at all, I can drive.
You can always service a vehicle more often than the minimum service intervals.
I haven't read the manual yet, but service interval is a function of all kinds of thing.

biting its own tail 
I knew someone about 20 years ago that said his car was so good that it didn't need regular servicing it just ran smoothly for years.
Jean, after reading your post, today I tried for the first time to check the oil level, and the display asked me exactly the conditions that you explained above...Today I called my dealer, because of this:
