Please, anyone can help me? I am trying to reset the "braking pads warning" and when I long press the "reset" option it gave me - 15000 km...so I still get the warning ....
What can I do?

Tx
Sorry to dig up an old topic but I have the same problem. I just replaced my rear pads ( on my 04 545i ) and then tried to reset the service interval. I ended up getting -15000km which makes it look like I went over the pad change interval by 15000 km. Is there a way to reset the pad change to some factory interval like 30k mls?

Anyone know how to reset the oil service on the push button ignition? Is it the same as the turn key? I had the dealer change my oil at the 1yr mark (10k miles). My 16k oil service light is on.

Same here! I changed both front and rear pads on my 05 545 today. The rears were at -600 miles and the fronts were at 4900 miles before replacement.
having replaced them and trying to reset the numbers using the method as described, the rears now show -15000 miles and the fronts show -9000 miles!

I think I followed the instructions pretty carefully and here's what happens :-

1. Ignition switch on and reset trip counter to zero
2. Turn key off and on again and hold in trip reset button for 5-10 secs
3. Service triangle appears and I can move to the rear pad service icon
4. Hold in the trip button and the word "reset?" appears
5. release and reapply trip button and the -15000 goes to 4 dashes ---- then goes back to -15000

If I do the same for the front pads I get exactly the same result except the number goes back to -9000

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

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.
it worked. thanks
