Thank goodness. I've been messing with this for what seems like forever at trying to get the menus working.

Thanks a million!!!

Anyone know if this method is supposed to work on the state emission message? I can't seem to get it to work. I had no problem resetting the oil change....

Thanks!

Some items have to be reset in the iDrive. I had to reset my SOS inspection message (date driven not milage) in the service menu. If you bring up the alert itself you can click downward and the option to adjust the date is present. Warning gone!

Ok, I will try this today at lunch time. Thanks for the quick response! I suppose this is setup this way because you can have the inspection done outside of BMW. In Florida, there are no inspections, so a reset is all I need.

Does anyone know what the "German" gibberish is all about? Back when I had my E36M3, they were special functions like digital speedometer, battery voltage, fuel consumption, fuel level in liters, etc. etc. etc....

Does anyone know what they are all about?

This is good info now that i'm out of the maintenance plan. And since it's now on my dime, how often should I change my oil if I do low mileage (6500/yr) - BMW seems to have a separate list item for low mileage oil changes and for whatever reason, the last time was only after 6 months even though mileage was going at the same rate. Would I want to go past once a year with their synthetic? Should I do it per mileage or time?

This worked flawlessly for me to reset my brake pad service interval. Bring up the Service requirements Status screen if you have iDrive and you will see the indicator change confirming proper execution. Thanks for the great info!
