Interesting. I have got written instructions to reset the E60 service icons and they state that you must set the trip mileage to zero first and they are adamant that it will not work unless you do this. I have reset the trip when i have reset service icons but I then loose my trip miles. The instructions above don't mention that. I'm about to do my spark plugs and then reset the iDrive so I'll give it a bash without resetting the trip first. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Sorry Andrew E60 slightly different, Ignition posision 2 press bcc to date odo 5 secs until symbol appears (oil can, brakes,filters etc) press odo repeatedly until desired symbol appears press and hold odo until reset appears release and press again to reset unfortunately resets trip Hope this helps.

Intersting Davie, the instructions I have don't mention pressing bcc to date right enough, but obviously does the trick. Anyone know how to reset the E60 service intervals without loosing the trip? How does BMW do it? They don't reset the trip, or is that cos it's done via diagnostics? Although, when I had and issue with the brake fluid resetting after I bought the car (from Derby) they didn't reset the system even though they changed the fluid. So I went to BMW in Glasgow and the service assitant offered then and there to reset the system himself and he wasn't going to plug it in to a diagnostic unit. So I'm guessing there is another way to do it..... ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
