How to Reset Service Interval Lights
For X5's produced from October/November 2000 and beyond:

1. Key in 0 or off position.

2. Press and hold odometer button and turn key to 1 or acc. position.

3. Keep button pressed until any of the following words appear in display: "oil service" or "inspection", with "reset" or "re". For vehicles with "high cluster", the fuel amount (in litres) remaining until next service is displayed (i.e. 3224).

4. Press and hold button again until "reset" or "re" flash. If there is no "flash", minimum consumption value has not been met.

5. While display is flashing, press button briefly to reset service interval indicator. After display has shown new interval, the following will appear in display for approx. 2 seconds:"END SIA"

Do you get the flash in step 4? If not then you may not have met the minimum consumption values

Hi there

What is the minimum consumption values? I thought it was 2.5 gallons but in my case, I have already used up 1/2 tank of gas and the reset procedure does not seem to work on my 2003 X5 3.0

Help please

Thanks

Minimum consumption values pertain to the vehicle utilization (number of miles driven, gallons of gas consumed, etc.) since the last service was performed. This has nothing to do with how full your gas tank presently is.
