should i reset indicator after inspect 2?

So i did the inspection 2 on my 04 x5 in my friends garage at 60k miles before the indicator light even came on. I have not reset the lights since the inspection and it's at 62k miles but still no indicator lights appear. should i still reset the lights or wait for the inspection indicator to appear first?

I'd reset it and just remember that it is a bit off for the new service, so don't wait for the last dot.

I drive low enough miles a year I still have 3 green dots left when I come up for my annual. I still do the full service as I se fit and reset the lights.

Do you have the round diagnostic connector under the hood? If so then you need to use that method with the wire...
