I am having a 2-year brake fluid flush done at a local brake shop I deal with.
Does anyone know the procedure for resetting the computer for this service interval.

I did, just not through the dealer as my brake shop I deal with is more convenient. Same shop that changed my pads to low dust pads...
Just need to reset the computer. I can go to the dealer with my receipt, but trying to save the effort.

Do you mind giving us the web link and share the info? Thanks!
To enter this mode, with ignition on, hold the odo reset button (located on the left side of the instrument panel under the tach) for about 10 seconds.
The center of the info display will change to "service". It will have an icon for which service feature and the miles/date left until service is required. These icons are the same as displayed on the I-drive service screen. So, you can go through the Idrive service screen to get familiar with the icons prior to doing this.
Once in this mode, push the reset button to cycle through the various service items.
To reset a service item that is displayed, hold the reset button. I don't remember how long, but the display will change to a reset mode. You must release the button once it enters this reset mode. Then you will need to confirm the reset by pressing the reset button again.
The reset service interval will then be changed.
You can continue pressing the reset button to scroll through the other icons.
I think to exit, I simply shut off the ignition.
As with the previous post, be careful not to reset something you did not intend to. It is kind of hard to do this as you enter the reset function, then you must confirm it.
If this is not clear, let me know. It may sound difficult, but is actually pretty easy.
