Hi Guys
Sorry if this is a repost although i did try and search before starting this thread.
My E46 M3 is due an oil change soon and im more than happy to complete the oil change except one part - Resetting the Oil Service lights?
Has anybody done this and can you tell me how you do it?
Thanks in advance :D

yes and i've done it three times when i've changed the oil myself but for the life of me i've gone completely numb in my brain and i've bloody forgot :(
No doubt it will come back in my head at around 4am :o

maybe...
OIL RESET:
1. key must be OFF
2. look at the cluster. there are two buttons. press and hold the left one down.
3. turn the key to position 1 (KLR).
4. continue to hold button for approx. 5 seconds after the key is turned to position 1 (you can let go of the key).
5. after about 5 secs you will see a message in the OBC. it will either flash OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with "rESET SIA."
6. while the message is flashing, let go and then tap the same button you've been holding and the SIA will reset itself. the cluster will display "END SIA."

Thanks guys that echos the PM i got with the below instructions:-
BMW 2001 to current
Ignition Off (Position 0)
Press and Hold the trip odometer button while turning key to position 1 (ACCESSORY)
Keep the button depressed (about 5 secs.) until you see "Oil Service" or "Inspection" with "Reset" or "Re" in the display*
Press the button again and hold for approx. 5 secs. until "Reset" or "Re" flashes
While the display is flashing, briefly press the button again to reset the Service Interval. After the display has shown the new interval you should see "END SIA" for about 2 seconds
Note: that if the "Reset" or "Re" does not flash, then you have not met the minimum consumption level and cannot reset
*Note: On vehicles with "High" cluster, you will also see the amount of fuel (in litres) remaining until next service
