How to reset the service indicator on a BMW 3 Series E90

Part: Service warning light

Let's see how to reset the service light on a BMW 3 Series E90: turn on the instrument panel, and wait for the "service" message to appear, then press the "2BC" button on the left side of the steering wheel to access the menu, then use the up and down arrows to navigate to the "service info" option and press "BC" to see what services are required. Return to the main screen (the one with the clock and odometer), and hold down the BC button for about 10 seconds, until a yellow triangle appears and the first service item to be reset (for example "oil"); reset each item by pressing "BC" at each reset prompt, and move on to the next item with the arrows. Once all the red items have been reset, turn off the car and turn it back on. The "service" message will be turned off.
