3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Hi All, As the title says. Im after a service light reset tool thats going to work on an E36. Preferably after the Draper brand one as its an all in one unit without any cords or cables plus ive used it before and found it extreamly easy to use. And before some says "just use a paper clip bro" im not a monkey and would like to do it properly! Pic attached Cheers Brett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Just use a paper clip bro. lol I guess I asked for that. Cheers Max Or some wire with bullet connectors and a fuse in the middle Nah, still too dodgy for me. Would rather spend $60 on the proper tool rather than thousands on a fried computer. I have a good paying job, and dont see the need to cut corners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Theres normaly a few on Tardme Ive been keeping an eye out lately but there does not seem to be any listed. I have seen them on there before thou. There are these ones: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-213711577.htm But not really what im after. Theyre reasonably priced in the UK. About 15 Pound + shipping so I might look at ordering one from there. Maybe a bulk bimmersport order??? Edited April 22, 2009 by 3 SERIES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted April 23, 2009 Well why are you "cutting corners" by reseting the light by yourself? Ha ha. I actually did the required work on the car to warrant the service light being reset! Jeff Grey use the same tool so I think I should be ok sticking it in the correct hole. Never had a problem in the past Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Question (Maybe for Glen?): Will the above draper tool fit a 1997 bmw e39 525i? All it states is that it works on all vehicles 1986-1998. From what I have read, did the plug fitment change after 1998? Sorry not up with the play on 5ers Cheers Brett Edited June 9, 2009 by 3 SERIES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
