My Ride: E61 525iA Build 2004/08. "Safirschwartz Metallic". Navi Pro, Adaptive Headlights, Bi-Xenon, Panorama Sunroof etc... CIP 18.00.01 (No noticed bug)
On the previous models this was easy (a cheap tool could be used). Now the dealer has to connect a computer and give some pretty advanced commands. You can probaly find software and interface on the open marekt for a DIY.

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.

Does this really work????
I wouldn't even try it, 'cause I trade my car every 2 or 3 years.
I usually find something that the could improve at the dealers service.
Why try to save <?50 for a hillbilly bulls**t trick like this?????

I did it on mine three times.
once for oil change, (second change - 40000 km - 2 years)
once for brake fluid change (2 years) not changed Because of 40000 km.
& once for the microfilter (not changed - Just cleaned)
It works.
Try it, but don't reset any item. Just to understand the way it works.

So nice!!!
When the warrenty and the free service is ended, I will do the oil changes, and change Micro filter etc.. The brakefuild and other bigger jobs, I will let my dealer take care of!
But a simple thing as a oil change you can do your selfe !
Thanks
