How is the check reset on a 2017 BMW x5?
On my 2017 X5, how do I reset (turn off) the service indication message? The navigation screen displays it. We recently had our oil changed, but we declined the service for the cabin air filter. They were altered by me. After replacing the oil, the dealer did not reset the indication.
Do you have any programs or apps similar to BimmerlinK? Or do you have nothing to work with, no tools, etc.?
If the latter is true (nothing), you can use the instrument cluster button to reset the service indicators. YouTube is filled with tutorials that will show you how to do this basic task. Simply search for the manual for any BMW F chassis that features the basic, 6WA, or 6WB cluster. Useless instructions exist for BMWs with E chassis.
Do keep in mind that the instrument cluster test procedure’s commencement is fairly similar, so if you find yourself repeatedly seeing the TEST display rather than the SERVICE reset displays, you’re probably doing something somewhat incorrectly. Return to the videos to see what you might be missing.
By pressing the START button, you essentially turn the automobile on, but you DO NOT start the engine. Once the service you wish to reset appears, press and hold the odometer reset button. Press the odometer reset button and then adhere to the instructions.
The first five screens of my service are displayed here. When these pictures were taken, the service interval for my brake fluid had already passed (it’s orange) from when it was scheduled for the first week of June at the dealer. Their screens are green because I changed the oil and the filters myself because they were due in June 2021. After I finished the work, the dealership reset the brake fluid. I also reset the oil and vehicle inspection.
Even if you didn’t have them perform the vehicle check, you could still take the car back and have them reset the service display for the work they did. However, if you read the instructions and experiment with the reset process, you’ll notice how simple/easy it is to do.
Another piece of advice is that the oil service is made to block numerous short periods, so once it’s reset, you can’t reset it again until you’ve driven a certain number of miles.
The service interval was reset because I did the oil and filter changes myself.
then have them reset the interval so you can view the final two pictures below:

An MOT check is one of the most thorough assessments your car will have to undergo to check safety-related and emissions systems, including lighting, steering, brakes, and suspension.

We only use Genuine BMW Parts because we have received specialized training from BMW.

The advisory notice of the VT32 document will include any recommended additional work that your vehicle might need.
When your first MOT is due, you’ll have the benefit of being protected by BMW MOT Protect if you own a new BMW. You won’t suffer if your BMW fails its initial MOT, which is improbable.
