I just replaced my microfilters (cabin air filters) as they were absolutely filthy (iDrive said 600 km left). Reset the iDrive and it went up to 90'000 km!
I'm pretty sure the filters will need to be changed earlier than that, does anyone know if it's possible to shorten the iDrive interval? I guess to 25'000 km or so that I had in the E46.

I'll visually check the filters in a few months just to make sure they're still okay.

Can the "vehicle check" be reset even if a service is not due yet. EG I have 4,100 kms to go before an oil change. I have just performed the oil change, and would like to reset the oil change for a further period, but I am unable to get the service icon/yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the centre to appear when following the procudure listed below.

When you replaced the microfilters, how did you do the reset using the iDrive? I just changed mine this weekend and was hoping to find some way to do the reset.
Thanks very much
Thanks very much
"Press the tacho reset button in the instument cluster about 10 seconds with the key to on position, until "service" appears, then change selection with a sigle push until "engine oil" appears. Keep pushing the "reset " ask yes? and that's all. Next oil change after 25000 Km appears on the idrive "service"menu."
the above is for oil change but stepping through the selections gets you microfilter too
