SIR E30 68 Report post Posted May 1, 2009 OR to avoid frying your computer you could take it to your friendly BMW mechanic who will probably reset it for free with the proper tool. OR buy the proper tool off trademe. I reset mine with wire though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OR buy the proper tool off trademe. I reset mine with wire though I tried taking it into the Pukekohe one and he tried charging $25 to reset the light once. I decided not to do that and took it home. My brother had a go and got rid of it in like a minute. I got a new inspection light I need to get rid of now thats just come up a a few days ago.

tire 10 Report post Posted May 1, 2009 I hope you are doing the work associated with said "inspection light" Yep oil change, oil filter, fuel filter. I feel after all these years the relevance of set tasks at service time is, well, irrelevant. As things wear I will replace them. Not including fluids and filters obviously.

Kaz 62 Report post Posted May 1, 2009 I hope you are doing the work associated with said "inspection light" Yeah 1st one was an oil etc inspection. I did all that before I reset it. This new one just has a picture of a clock then inspection next to it. What does that mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does that mean?The car was timing you as you did the oil change and felt you could have done it quicker... no idea. sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) It means inspection 1 or II due by time. You check brake fluid & coolant with the appropriate tools...which you probably wont have. And do a standard service. Check the brakes, steering and suspension. There is a bit more to it though if you do as per OEM schedule though. It realy depends on what was done last time & by whom.
