To reset the brake pad wear warning light on a BMW X3, first replace the worn brake pads. Once replaced, enter the cabin and turn on the ignition: the warning light will remain on for a few seconds.

Allow the sensors time to detect the condition of the new pads: if the replacement was done correctly, the brake pad wear warning light will turn off. To verify that the reset was successful, you can turn off and then turn on the ignition again.
