How to Reset the Oil Change Light on Your 2003 BMW 530I

1. Insert the key in the 530i's ignition. Press and hold the 'Start/Stop' button, without pressing the brake or clutch. Release the 'Start/Stop' button when the service reminder light goes out.

5. Press and release the 'BC' button on the turn signal stalk until 'Reset' appears on the instrument cluster LCD screen.
6. Press and hold the 'BC' button for about three seconds, or until a whirling clock icon appears, indicating the system is reset.
7. Remove the key from the ignition.
