Wow Dackelone thanks for the help and links, i just got my cabin and air filter in the mail today.

I'm gonna try reseting the lights after i buy the Motive on man pressure bleeder and bleed the brakes. Thanks again bud.

Replaced the cabin and air filter today, i reset the brake fluid flush warning light through my cars hidden menu and still have a yellow service light on. Take a look at my menu guys.

It might be me but I can't see your dash picture.

I bought my son a Motive bleeder and used it once on my bimmer. It does make it easy for one person to do this. I like to use it to pressurize the car's storage location for brake fluid even though that means refilling it for each wheel. That avoids putting the brake fluid into the Motive and potentially getting a little moisture into the fluid.

If you do not have a power bleeder and do have a good helper, you can this without it. You need to use a turkey baster to suck out the old fluid from the resevoir and then fill with new fluid (not old stuff you've had in the garage picking up moisture). Next jack the car up and remove a wheel, preferably the passenger's rear - the furthest from the resevoir. Put the helper in the car and have them push on the brake while you open the bleeder valve. They have to hold the pedal down while you tighten the bleeder and then let it up, and press again while you reopen. Do this until you're sure you have fresh fluid coming out the bleeder. Some people use different colored fluid. The power bleeder process is about the same except you use pressure to eliminate the need for somebody to push on the brake pedal.

You might try finding somebody who can code to eliminate your service signal.

I will also add that the cabin filter is a nice to have kind of thing unlike the engine air filter or oil filter. It helps with allergies for the occupants of the car but vacumning it off and putting it back in is a viable option at my house.

Thanks JimD, i replaced the cabin and the air with the OEM ones from BMW. I think ill just go in for the brake-fluid flush and let them know that i reset the brake fluid flush warning light on my own. Looks like the two "s" on the front and back of the car means that i need an inspection, even if my state inspection is due in September 2013 but its telling me that the front inspection is due this month 4/13 and then the rear is due next month which will be 5/13. I think
