Service Intervals - Initial Start Date?

Yes, more than enough in the plan to cover the cost.
But it also now throws the service and MOT dates out of alignment

Ah well, you never know the service might shift again. I just took mine in each year as the service plan covered it - it's on a 24 month interval, which is plain bonkers considering how quickly diesel vehicle's oil goes black, and the risk of dilution. I'm doing 12 month services which is about 6,000 miles.

I did think about that, but I know that BMW are very anti anyone plugging into the OBD port and if memory serves me right, on the newer models like mine its not possible to alter anything?

OBD is, by law, an open architecture. Provided you dont start installing new software, remaps, etc, your right to plug in enshrined in European law to which the UK remains aligned, and they cannot penalise you for dojng so.

Regulation (EU) 2018/858 refers.
