It will be possible to reset the Service indicator on the dashboard of the BMW Series 3 by pressing and holding the button located on the left side of the dashboard and inserting the ignition key to turn on the dashboard. Now, the screen will display the word "__test": while continuing to hold the button, the previous text will change to "reset." Once this text starts to flash, you need to release the button and press it again.

The text will disappear, so you should press the button once more to display the word "end." At this point, the reset of the indicator will have been completed correctly.
