First off, :welcome: to X5world.
Regarding what needs to be done, it depends on whether it is an "oil service" or an "inspection service" It should say in the dash which one you are due for.
Here is an article that tells you what is performed for either one of these -

Also, here's an article that tells you how to reset your service lights on your own, should you opt to go the DIY route -
