Resetting Low brake fluid/ABS/DCS warning lights

I was swapping out my StopTech front & rear BBK's this weekend for the OEM calipers/rotors on my 1M. I did a rookie move and ran my brake reservoir dry. Now on top of needing the bleed them again to get the air out of the brake lines, I got a low brake fluid, ABS malfunctioning and DCS malfunctioning warning lights. Can this be reset at home or the local BMW repair shop or is it a dealer only reset?

That fault would have been logged on your first drive. Do a DSC bleed and clear the fault using an advanced OBD Scan tool. Usually you will need something that can handle BMW specific codes but if you're able to get a DSC bleed done then that tool will be able to clear the fault also.

Thanks for the info. the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree the moment I started the car. I'll give my local BMW shop a call.
