On the instrument panel of the BMW 3 Series, to reset the Service indicator, you will need to hold down the button located on the left side of the dashboard and insert the ignition key to activate the instrument panel. Now the display will show "__test": continuing to hold down the button, the previous message will change to "reset". Once this message starts flashing, you will need to release the button and press it again.

The message will be cleared, so you will need to press the button again to display "end". At this point, the reset of the indicator will be completed entirely.
