Yes it can be reset without a tool. It's just nice a scanner has this functionality.

BTW, did you know the 135i has a 100 modules each module has up to 10 or more elements? My scanner can examine all of them and nail down any problems. It even has a real time graphing function which is really neat!

And as a plus, it come in a lovely case that you'll be happy to show off to your friends!

I am late to the party on this one and not wanting to stir the pot. But I just changed my oil, again, after about 5,000 miles of use. When I was under warranty, I got annual oil changes which was about 6,000 miles for me at the time. I realize I could go further. But 5,000 miles is easy to remember and definitely often enough. I use an oil on the BMW list I can get at Wal Mart and a Mann filter from Amazon. Costs me about $40 to do an oil change. I have a N52 which lacks an iron cylinder liner so I want to be absolutely sure my oil is good.

I also take my used oil to a collection spot for recycling. I think there are many reasonable ways to approach the oil change interval but one of my least favorite is to depend on the sensor in the car. It may work great but I see no reason to take the chance.

Well, you could be severely fined depending on where you are, but other than that, not much...

Fortunately our landfill (with respective disposal receptacles for automotive fluids) is located at the entrance to the best back road I've ever been on (not really saying much), so I don't think of it as a chore anymore...

Beats the one Alexandria provides. Easy access, great sorting of recyclables and even a reuse center. Alexandria's is just a dump.

So to be a good Dump it has to be more than a dump? Lol
