Hi, you've probably gathered from the other posts that you are missing an important step of the process. Let me guess, you are switching on your ignition/engine, hitting "reset", then walking away and waiting. I did the same thing just last week. Left it for 2 or 3 hours. Then realised that after hitting "reset", you are meant to drive the car 
Unhelpfully it just sits there and says "initializing". Would have been so easy for them to make it say "initializing, please drive car!!".

Reset and start driving... BMW says about 7 miles... but I think it resets before then.

My Ride: 2007 530i. Purchased 6/28/07. Titanium Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Dark Poplar Trim, Steptronic, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Bluetooth, Adaptive Control Xenons. 10/30/07 Added OEM 124s with 245/40/18 & 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. Installed red Cal Covers� from BavAuto. 11/21/07 Added OEM all-weather floor mats (for winter, carpet in summer) and coat rack. 6/26/08 installed M5-style rear spoiler. 6/30/08 put on red reflectors. 8/22/08 Euro turn signal stickers applied. 3/20/09 Installed Shadowline Trim. 3/27/09 Added Matte Black Kidney Grilles from Trinity. 4/03/09 Installed Bimmian Shadow Matte Black 530i Badges. 4/04/09 Installed LED license plate lights from Trinity. 5/01/09 Installed Brabus Interior LED Kit and White Angel Eyes. 5/02/09 Put in Brabus 6K Fogs. 5/14/09 Removed charcoal filter. 5/15/09 Installed light smoke LED side marker lamps from Trinity. 5/21/09 Sprint Booster. 6/12/09 Painted exhaust tips flat black. 6/13/09 Pulled red Cal Covers and painted calipers low gloss black. 6/27/09 RPI Ram Air Scoop from Trinity. 8/15/09 Installed Brabus's silver invisibulbs front and rear. 9/24/09 Installed R-Dash license plate LEDs from Brabaus (John).
I, too, believe it must be based on number of tire/wheel rotations. If I set it when I air up and drive 25-35 mph around town, it seems to take forever (probably only 10 minutes). If I do the same and jump on the highway going 65-70 mph, it seems to take only 3-5 minutes.
