We’ve got a 2014 BMW X3, and we have just done the service on it. As soon as I start the car, I see services due on the dash, so we want to reset the service light. So what you have to do is:
- Turn the ignition switch to the on position
Press the START button two times without pressing the brakes, so the engine doesn’t fire up
- Hold down the TRIP button
Then we need to press and hold the TRIP button on the dash until the service menu comes up
- Go to the ENGINE OIL
Now, if you press the TRIP button, you can change through the different menus, and we can find the ENGINE OIL there
- Press and hold the TRIP button
Next, press and hold the button while you are on the menu that you want to reset until it says Perform Reset?
- Hold down the TRIP button again
To confirm it, you need to hold down the TRIP button one more time, and you’re done
BMW G01 (2018-2021)
- The first step in the process is to push the START button three times in succession to get into the Diagnostic mode
- Then you need to wait until you see all the lights on the dash come on and every other warning light come on
- Next, you just going to want to push the BC button on the left stalk a few times to clear out the messages
- After that, you’re going to push the RESET button on the left side of the cluster and hold it for 10 seconds, so then the service menu will pop up
- At this point, we’re gonna go ahead and find the ENGINE OIL by short-press the RESET button
- Once you get there, you push and hold the RESET button till the reset question mark comes up
- To reset it, you need to hold the RESET button down again and wait till the progress is complete

I have a new x3 and it doesn’t have a reset button on the cluster display, do you know how to reset it without the odometer reset button on the dash? Thanks
