I have the same issue- I also don't have an option to reset my "engine oil" - but I don't have the car on - I just have the key in the ignition so its in "ready" mode. So you guys are saying to try it again with the car actually turned on and I will get those options?

Thanks I think u were right, just got the car back from BMW, said they had to 'replace' the sensors AGAIN...ummm wonder how the dealership claimed twice for sensors from the maintenance plan
Unless they didnt replace them in the first place

All seems ok now and brakes are showing 100%, just hope it doesn't reset again

Ok now I've just had enough of our local BMW service agents, 5 freaking times and the light came back on???
I know for sure they replaced the sensors this time, as I insisted on seeing the invoices, but these guys really have no clue?? Now they want the car for a few days??

Good news, its a week and the warning light has not come back Looks like the remaining wear values for the pads are now also self adjusting as I drive.

Just proves how incompetent our local BMW agents are
