The OBC *does not* reset itself when you change the oil. But, that's what you want it to do. If you're doing oil changes outside of the BMW guidelines, you will never receive any oil changes under the full maintenance plan if you reset the computer yourself when you change the oil at 2,000/5,000/10,000 miles.

If you arent sure about what tool to use, maybe you should consider letting someone do it that's done it before. Not saying you cant, just might be safer.
In general, the drain bolt is just that, a bolt. Probably somewhere between the 12-14 mm range if I had to guess...

If you wait until 12 months after your car was delivered, BMW USA will change the oil at no charge, as the US manual says it is supposed to be changed every year even if not called for by the CBS. |

The little button you push to reset your tripmeter. If you hold it down for a couple seconds it brings you where you can reset your oil meter countdown. Anybody else tried this?

I assume that the service intervals are hard-coded into the CBS system, and it was not worth the trouble to recode it for the US. Once it is reset, it starts another 15,500 miles or 2 years cycle... In order to make the computer comply with what the US manual says, it might be possible to set the car's clock one year back before resetting the CBS. (Note: this is probably only possible once you're out of Full Maintenance, as the dealer will probably reset the date if it's a year off before resetting the CBS.) So, if I were having my annual oil change done now, I would set the car's date to 04/21/2005, change the oil, and reset the meter, then change the date back to 04/21/2006, then the CBS would show the next oil service due in 04/2007. I have not tried this and do not intend to, and it may cause unforeseen and unintended consequences, so try it at your own risk. |
