2005 BMW 325i Oil Service Light Reset Procedure

I change my own oil in my 2005 BMW 325i. Now the service light is on, but I don’t know how to reset it. My friends with older BMWs have a special tool to reset it, but mine doesn’t seem to be made this way. Can you help me?”

Yes, there’s an exact sequence of events you need to do to reset that light. Here they are: Put the ignition key in the “0” (“off”) position.Then press and hold down the trip odometer button in the instrument cluster. Then turn the ignition key to the “1” (accessory) position. Make sure the button is pressed down for approx. 5 more seconds until any of the following appear in the display: “Oil Service” or “Inspection”, with “Reset” or “Re”. Then press the button again and hold for 5 seconds until the words “Reset” or “Re” flash. When the display is flashing, press the button quickly to reset the Service Interval. When the display has shown the new service interval, you’ll see “END SIA”. That means you did it right and the light will remain off until the next service interval is set. Yes, it’s a crazy procedure, but what do you expect from BMW?
