Sure thing, guys. Actually someone said it would it would be like the e90/e60 .. I just tried it out.
Interestingly, the interval for 'vehicle checkup' went from 6/2014 to 6/2013 (shortened) after I reset the oil interval, I have no idea why this is.. |

Good deal. Thanks for posting. Ive been thinking about ordering a 550i, and have been ticked because everything seems to need to happen at the dealer. I called the other day to see if this reset can be done (as is the case with every car I've ever owned/seen) at home versus having to take it in. The service writer said that it could only be done at the dealer. In the words of the great Waylon Jennings "WRONG"... I really do not like any of these dealers, I really don't...

GARBAJ,
It seems like all the regular maintenance work can be done without any dealer computer/codes or whatever. According to all the info thats on the 3 (e90) forums, if this car is similar, then you really don't have to go back to the dealer unless there is a problem. If you get an 'big' error code (engine, trans.) then you need the computer to tell you whats wrong, but some Indy's also have them. I don't think my car misses the dealer. |
