Ola from the Netherlands!! I've tried the manual that has been posted here.
Unfortunatly i'm not able to come to the "reset?" part.
But can it be so that the reason why is that the messages are already in red and maybe due for more then 20.000km?
(no worries, i'm very keen on my oil change)
But i want to get rid of the messages, for my front brake pads, oil and microfilter changes......
My 525D is from 2005 though.
Hope to get a clear answer what i'm doing wrong, or is my problem that i'm just "late"?
Thanks for helping me out people

I did it on mine three times.
once for oil change, (second change - 40000 km - 2 years)
once for brake fluid change (2 years) not changed Because of 40000 km.
& once for the microfilter (not changed - Just cleaned)
It works.
Try it, but don't reset any item. Just to understand the way it works.
Hi there,
Can you please advise the location of the microfilter that you have changed?A photo of that would be great.
Thanks

This thread is awesome! 
I tried the tachometer reset method above and it worked fine for me. Took me a few minutes to reset the oil meter. Just make sure you turn the ignition on; with the start/stop button model, turn ignition on by pressing start/stop button while leaving the brake pedal off (to avoid starting your engine).

Hi kreate2
Welcome aboard
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.
Beware, not to reset another function, there is no way to restore a reseted item.
Regards.
