Release and press odometer button again until Reset flashes
Release and press odometer button shortly.

Thanks for posting this. Just reset the service lights on mine after doing an oil service. Slightly different, mine said RESET SIA: then some numbers but I managed it in the end.

You can use may scanner if your not far from me, mine has the oil service warning up as well, I want the book stamping though, so was going to get a garage to change the oil and filter and stamp the book. May reset the light myself first with the scanner to test it out first.
anyone got a BMW rubber stamp I can borrow! :) :) :)
