The steps to reset the maintenance reminder for the BMW 320li are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and then turn it on again. 2. Press the reset button located at the bottom left of the instrument panel until the words OILSERVICE or INSPECTION and RESET appear, then release. 3. Press and hold the button again until the word RESET appears, then release. 4. Press and hold once more to see the maintenance interval prompt, and continue pressing the button until the word END-SIA appears. The reset is now complete. More details about the BMW 320li are as follows: 1. The BMW 320li has dimensions of 475318111455mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm. The BMW 320li is a mid-size car launched by BMW. 2. The newly redesigned BMW 320li has increased dimensions, especially the wheelbase. There are some differences in body size between the domestically produced version and the imported version. To meet the needs of Chinese consumers, the domestically produced version has extended the wheelbase and length, resulting in more interior space. 3.

After I last serviced my BMW 320Li myself, that annoying warning light kept flashing and had to be manually reset. The procedure is quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat, insert the key and turn it to the ignition position without starting the engine. Then look at the instrument cluster, press the button or scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel to find the vehicle settings menu; select the service or maintenance information option inside, and there will be a reset interval option—just hold the confirm button for a few seconds to complete it. My car is a 2018 model, and newer versions might use a touchscreen for easier operation. Before resetting, make sure the maintenance is already done, otherwise missing the timing could cause engine issues; if the reset doesn’t respond, it might be a battery or module fault that needs checking. When driving such a car, remember to maintain it regularly, like checking the oil every 5,000 km, to avoid long-term neglect of warnings leading to problems. In short, DIY saves trouble, but if you're unsure, it’s best to visit a 4S shop to avoid mistakes.

I've handled quite a few BMW maintenance reminder resets, and the 320Li isn't difficult to deal with. Here are the steps: Insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, use the steering wheel function buttons to navigate the dashboard, switch to the settings interface, find the maintenance menu, select the option to reset the service interval, and confirm as prompted to clear the reminder. In my experience, newer models are easier, while older ones from before 2010 sometimes require an OBD tool to adjust the computer. After resetting, take a short drive to confirm the light turns off. If it fails, it might be a system bug or incomplete maintenance last time. I recommend not delaying—reset and perform maintenance as soon as the reminder appears. This car consumes a bit more fuel, but neglecting maintenance can lead to engine overheating. Regularly checking brake pads and filters can also extend its lifespan. Keeping the dashboard clean helps avoid distractions while driving.

I've reset the maintenance reminder for the BMW 320Li a few times. The method is to turn on the electrical system without starting the engine, use the steering wheel buttons to enter the settings, find the maintenance information option, and then press confirm to reset it. For newer models, it's more straightforward using the central control. After resetting, the display will revert to the initial value, reminding you of the next maintenance time. It's recommended to follow the official maintenance schedule and avoid forcibly resetting, as it can be harmful. Always pay attention to the dashboard while driving to minimize risks.
