Ok. My service reminder light is on due to spark plugs but I had changed the oil and spark plug 3k miles ago because I don't like to wait for the required maintenance to be due. I usually change stuff on my cars a certain amount of miles. But yea, I tried using the condition based value updating and resetting today via BT tool and it says "cannot connect" or something. I know I can reset it using dash but I want to be able to monitor and change values on the condition based maintenance to keep good record on what needs to be done when its time. Anyone else have this problem or know a fix to this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

There is a DIY on here on how to reset the maintenance indicators without using a BT scanner. I have done it many times and it works very well. Just search the DIY section.

OP: Contact the BT people http://www.bavariantechnic.com/ please post an update so we can all learn from this. Thanks.

This is from the sticky somewhere. I copied it to Word and saved it as a file, works perfect.

Guys I looked everywhere (maybe not hard enough) for a DIY service reset for E90 but couldn`t find one. So decided to try the E60 DIY which wasn`t too far off. I realize most cars are still under warranty but I will use this to replace my own brake pads and micro filter instead of being fleeced by the $dealers.

Step 1
Insert key into slot
Step 2
Press start/stop button without depressing clutch/brake and wait for the service reminder to disappear.
Step 3
Immediately after service reminder goes out, press and hold the odometer reset. After 3 secs a warning triangle will appear, keep the odo. button pressed and after another 2-3 secs the Oil can will appear. I f you hold it too long (10 secs in total) you will overshoot the runway and some German writing will appear giving the software level/ can bus etc. of the car. Go back to the beginning and start again.
Step 4
You are now in the service menu, use the toggle switch on indicator stalk to scroll up/down through the various service items.
Step 5
When you have the item you want to reset showing, press the BC button on end of indicator stalk. Reset should now appear in the display. Press in and hold the BC button for 2-3 secs and a clock will start whirling around and hey presto, it’s done
Step 6
You can now either scroll up/down to select another item (as in step 4) or you can press the start/stop button to exit.

Pay atention to what your resetting, not responsible!

Sorry for the re-post guys...

^ OP said he knew how to reset it at the stalk so I didn't bother posting the video to reset it, but since you want to know how to reset it using the stalk, here you go http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=360706

By the way, it was on the first page of the DIY section on this forum, so you have horrible searching skills.
