How to restore the brake pad warning on a BMW X1 E84?

Model: BMW X1 E84 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Warning light – error code

In this video we see how to reset the brake pad warning light on the BMW X1 E84: if we have replaced the pads and the reset sensor (which is disposable, and there is one for each axle); it must always be replaced every time it activates the warning; it cannot be physically reset. Turn on the instrument panel; press and hold the "BC" button located on the left side of the turn signal lever for about 10 seconds, until the menu appears on the instrument panel: always with the same button we find the "vehicle info" and scroll until we reach "brake status" and select with "BC". A message like "reset" will appear. Press and hold the "BC" button for a few seconds until a visual confirmation appears. At this point, turn off the vehicle. Wait 30 seconds and turn on the instrument panel for verification.
