Thumbs down

Do I need to take it to the dealer to get the front brakes reset? HELP!!!.
I called the sales guy at Grady BMW which is an hour away. He said to leave it alone for half an hour and see if it corrects if not to call them. If waiting for 1/2 an hour does not work any ideas?

You'll probably have to take it to the dealer to be reset. The car is safe to drive. It's just a brake wear indicator.

Doubtful. Dealer or independent BMW repair shop with a BMW computer.
