With the ignition switch turned off, hold down the "Reset" button. Press the set button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, then press the sel button on the right side of the steering wheel. Briefly press the "Clock Adjustment" button once. The maintenance cycle display will enter reset mode and return to the normal view after several seconds. To check the next maintenance: Press the "Clock Adjustment" button 4 times, and the multifunction display will show the remaining mileage until the next maintenance.
The maintenance light reset procedure for my 2019 BMW 530 is quite simple, and I often handle it myself. First, sit in the car, turn the key to the ignition position without starting the engine, and the dashboard will light up displaying the maintenance reminder. Then, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll left or right through the menu, select "Vehicle Information" or "Maintenance Settings," and then navigate to the "Reset Maintenance Data" option to confirm. The whole process takes no more than two minutes, and I do it this way every time to avoid spending extra money at the dealership. If you don't reset it in time, the light keeps flashing, which, although it doesn't affect driving, is annoying and might make you overlook the actual maintenance schedule. I also regularly check the oil and filters myself, which helps detect issues early and avoid potential problems. Developing good habits keeps the car in better condition, and I don't worry about breakdowns even on long trips.
