Use the upper left stalk on the stalk on the steering column. Scroll to service info and select. Then scroll through the different services. Each will tell you when its due.

Correct - but on both my BMW's the car must be stationary. Once you start moving, the Service Info display is no longer available, but through iDrive, it's always accessible.

It also shows on the display when you first start the car- tells you how many miles to next service.

This is how to RESET it. But you can figure out how to tell what (and when) things need to be changed/replaced.

I still read the manual. Every new car I get I read every page of the manual lol. Loved reading through the 335is manual. I also keep a maintenance schedule on my computer.

The manual sucks. It has every option under the sun and it is very convoluted. I like their videos more than the manual http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...eWA4tgUP+XHqI=
