BMW Self Servicing

[thebraketester]

One for those who service their own BMWs.

What system/equipment do you use to turn off all the annoying vehicle service reminders? So once the brakes have been done for example, what do you do to reset the warning?

Thanks

You can reset them through the on board computer. Just google how to reset x service light.

Just looked... thanks for your help I had no idea it would be as easy as that.

Yes, actually easier than having to reset the service indicator on the E36 which needed a special 'service indicator reset tool' to plug in (or if you were tight like me, a bit of wire across the two pins).

Bloody hell! I remember doing something similar on my wife's Renault, crossing wires like that etc... Any way that reminds me, I changed my oil a short time ago and forgot to do the service reset, I best get mine done!!
