Just got an oil change at the dealership my car has 39,xxx miles on my 21’ 330i. I declined the air filter (have afe filter) declined cabin filter (will get online) and I declined the vehicle check and just went with an oil change. The service advisor said there will be a notification pop up since I didn’t do that vehicle check service. For everything it was going to be $650, oil change alone was $200.

I was wondering is there any way of me clearing this notification or am I stuck with it? Will it prompt everytime I get in the car?

Thank you for any help/advice

You can reset the vehicle check interval with a scan tool if you want. The vehicle check is just a comprehensive inspection.

I am not too familiar with how to go about this, do you mean going to an auto zone and using the scanner they have or buying something online? I figured it was just a check not sure why they wanted so much money for it.

Nope, it involves going underneath the car and physically checking the chassis, drivetrain, and steering components.

I understand the inspection aspect, how would I go about clearing the notification that comes up? Go to a auto zone/oriellys etc to clear it with they’re obd scanner?

You can clear it in the diagnostic menu. You enter the menu by tapping the start button 3 times quickly. I cleared mine after actually carrying out the inspection myself...my local dealer just parks my car and lies about performing services. Very quick to recommemd stuff w/o even looking at the car though.

I got into diagnostic mode but couldn’t figure out anywhere else from there, any insight on how to clear it?

I got this far but can’t figure out how to reset I pressed and held the BC button and this came up but couldn’t figure out selections from there

I believe you need to press and hold the BC button on the item you need to reset

[Delighted_Jester]

The above poster is correct. You need to hold the BC button and itll ask if you want to reset. I would have did that in the video but thought it was kinda SE. Lordy moses. Lol

I’m new to this. I held it and clicked through and didn’t do anything I didn’t know I had to keep holding it. Thanks for your help I was able to reset it now.

I understand. Sorry if i came off moody. Just so you know in the future, like in my video, if you are within a certain mileage of resetting a service, it says reset impossible. I change my oil every 5k and it lets me do it so im not sure what the threshold is.
