So I have to ask about this - hopefully someone has an idea...
My 2011 135i was delivered in July of 2010. It has 14684 miles, so not a lot at all... I just got VANOS bolts done and so wanted to change the oil. It was due despite low use, given time since my last change. So I did an oil change, no problem. Went in to reset the service indicator. No problem. But when I reset it, immediately it states that next service is 4/2018 or 15000 miles. Note I said I have 14684 miles on the car. So I assume it is a count DOWN for that one??? Thanks! |

Cannot reset 2010 BMW 128i
Unfortunately, I was not aware this needed being done until the red BRAKE dash light came on. I recently did the front pads and kept the front sensor, since it did NOT wear down at all.
When scrolling to the service screen for front pads - it shows I have exceeded the warning interval by 10 miles....indicated by a "-10" number. Does this mean I have to replace the good front sensor?

I have a feeling my question may have been asked before. So kindly please point me in the right direction if it has. If I wanted to extract the most value out of my motor-plan by having BMW cover my oil changes more frequently i.e. every 7500 miles is there a way I can "cheat" my cars built in system/indictor that tells BMW my oil should be changed at a KM interval specified by myself? |

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=415111 or... you can use an app like BMwhat or BMWcarly to reset the service lights(I believe). I know with the Bav Tech tool - you could also reset or adjust the service(CBS) info. Dack

If this doesn't work, the old trick is to cut the sensor off (since it's just a piece of metal that will wear down, when its worn to a certain point, the connection breaks meaning no electricity flows through the sensor). Remove some of the sheathing and connect the two wires together, then solder them/heat shrink over to prevent the elements from getting to em. There will be a DIY either here or on E90 post. The alternate approach would be through coding, see the below threads, PM me if you need help with this route. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=804981 --> they use more values than are needed here. Could probably just go br_v;100;02 / br_h;100;02 (assuming this is your second service, hence 02, see the DIY below) and http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1312512 --> similar procedure, see post #5 for the value needed.

Had to be reset at the shop after ordering and installing new sensor. But now something new, after the indy reset the service timer, I can no longer pull up the reset feature by holding in the button. I've tried in every power on configuration and I just hold and hold and I never get the warning triangle and reset menu anymore. Guess I'll have to pay the indy another $25 when I do the next oil service in 1,000.

^^ Just thought I'd follow this up..
I suppose you don't get a yellow "service due" light for the brake fluid. In any event, I flushed and replaced the brake fluid (Ate 200) and reset the red brake fluid light with the instructions here. New service date says: 11/20/2018. Thanks Dack! |

I have not been successful in resetting my brake pad sensor.
I replaced the pads and rotors a year ago, but the sensors were in fine shape so I did not replace them. About two months ago I received the YELLOW warning. Over the weekend I received the RED warning. I took off the driver's front wheel and the wires were broken, but I measured the pad thickness and I still have 12mm, so the pads are sound. I replaced the sensor wire and the warning persists. I have read every thread I could find and watched some YouTube videos and attempted to reset the warning to no avail. One thing I did learn is that the reset for a manual is different than a reset for an automatic, and I have tried both. I also have iDrive, but could not find mention anywhere of if this makes any difference. Has anyone been successful in resetting this warning on a 2011 135i manual? FYI: This is one of the threads I reviewed: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...+warning+reset

I also believe the BMwhat or Carely app might also work in resetting the warning light. You might need to use a jumper wire to short out the sensors - try resetting the warning lamp, then reconnect the old sensors and reset again. ? That's what a few people have reported before in this thread. Did you read/see these two posts in this thread... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=105 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=48

Perhaps IF you have BMW's ISTA program and a laptop. But I think even then... once your dealer reads your key fob... they will see when the last oil service was - regardless of what the key fob says.
Just do your own oil changes or have a trusted shop do it for you.

Just wanted to share my experience. I replaced my front pads and rotors while keeping the non-damaged pad sensors (as others have). Also recently flushed all fluids prior to a track day. I recently got the service warning and then the red service light with the overdue mileage count. I got up to -300 before attempting a reset.
From some of the other posts I was worried I would have to go to the dealer, but gave this method a try anyway. Here's what I did: 1) Reset front brake and got the "-----" instead of mileage 2) Reset the "lift" service and got a new service date 3) Went back and reset the front brake again and the mileage was reset Make sure you try a second reset before taking it to the dealer!
