Brake fluid service indicator re-set

[JezP]

Hi Lads

Does anyone know how to reset the brake fluid change service indicator still reading 7/10 after a fluid change wanna get it to the next 2yr fluid service.

Thanks

You should have a little clock face in your display which indicates b/f due and can only be reset with a service reset gadget! Just make sure when you do it you don't reset the service indicator as well! try a local bmw specialist and if your lucky they might do it for a fee.

7. Press and hold the trip meter button until the display is showing a flashing "reset". Then release the button. "reset" will keep flashing.
