I am due an oil change in a few 100 miles on my 2004 545i. How do I reset the indicator once I change the oil, not at a BMW dealer? I was able to do it on my 1994 525i by grounding one of the contacts on the computer plug-in socket under the hood.

Thanks ahead.

Are you talking about resetting the iDrive indicator that shows you need an oil change? If so, try this because it worked for me and it should work for you I assume :

OIL INDICATOR RESET

Hope this helps.
