To reset the maintenance reminder for a BMW X3, follow these steps: 1. Press the ignition switch to start the vehicle; 2. Click the MENU button on the central control panel; 3. The central display will show vehicle information—long press the cancel button on the multifunction steering wheel; 4. Reset the vehicle maintenance information, and the central maintenance indicator light will return to zero. The BMW X3 is a midsize 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4717 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1689 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2864 mm. The BMW X3 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 135 kW at 5000 to 6500 rpm and a maximum torque of 290 Nm at 1350 to 4250 rpm.
When driving a BMW X3, the maintenance reminder often pops up annoyingly, but I've learned quite a few tricks from experience. The reset method is quite user-friendly: First, start the engine and ensure the car is stationary. Then, use the scroll wheel button on the right side of the steering wheel, press it a few times to enter the vehicle settings menu. Look for the "Vehicle Information" or "Service Requirements" option. After selecting it, a prompt to reset the maintenance reminder will appear—just click confirm, and it's done. The whole process takes less than a minute, but the key is to operate it while the engine is running; otherwise, it might not work. BMW designed this to remind you to change the oil or perform inspections on time, so after resetting, it's best to schedule maintenance soon—don't neglect your car. If the menu location varies by model year, check the user manual for detailed diagrams. Remember, regular maintenance extends engine life and ensures peace of mind during daily driving.
