The method to reset after replacing brake pads on BMW X1 is: 1. Close the door and turn on the key; 2. Press and hold the black button at the lower left corner of the instrument panel until the oil or brake pad indicator appears; 3. When a triangle symbol appears in the middle, do not release the button; 4. When the brake pad indicator appears, release the button and press and hold it again. It will display RESET or reset. At this time, release and press and hold again to complete the reset. The BMW X1 is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4454mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1545mm in height, a wheelbase of 2760mm, a fuel tank capacity of 63L, ventilated disc brakes, and a maximum speed of 295 kilometers per hour.
When it comes to resetting after replacing brake pads on the BMW X1, as someone who often does car maintenance myself, I find it quite straightforward. The key is to first check if the new brake pads are installed correctly, because ensuring everything is in order before resetting can avoid repeated hassle. The general steps are: first, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to ignition but don't start the engine; then, use the right button on the steering wheel to enter the iDrive menu, and select the maintenance or vehicle settings section; find the brake pad option, which might be separated for front and rear wheels; use the control knob to select the corresponding part and then press and hold the reset button for a few seconds to confirm; after it's done, turn off the ignition and start the car again to see if the warning light is off. If you don't reset, the system might give false alarms, which could affect safe driving. I recommend downloading the official owner's manual to check the specific model to avoid mistakes.
