I just went to the dealer to get an oil change and they did not reset the service indicator lights because I just got and oil change and filter instead of an OIL SERVICE. Kind of lame. So i've read you can reset them yourself by grounding the pin connector 7 or 19 or both, but I'm reading differnt things, so which is it??? I have a 98 328is. I don't want to screw up any electrical stuff, so I'd like to be certain before doing it. If someone has a good website with pictures and instructions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!!!

Here ya go, hope this helps. I always just ground pin #7 to the body for 10 seconds though. That works for me. Just get some 10 gauge ground wire and you are set.![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")

for god's sake, why don't u just go and buy a proper resetting tool. They only cost around 12 pounds (uk). Sound like a bit of a cowboy to me!!! If u ca afford to drive a BMW, then treak the bloody thing properly. Jesus, wires and grounding, if that's waht u want to do then stick 2 your US junk and forget about european quality cars o.k!!!!!

Yeah, the British are definitely known worldwide for their quality electrical systems. Pffft. ![[8]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_8ball.gif "Retarded [8]"){kind=icon}
I can think of other "Quality Euro cars" like the Yugo, Fiat, Jag, MG, Triumph....just to name a few. Funny thing is the guy lives in England.....drives a German car...what the hell is different about me driving a German car in the US and him in the UK....talking about American car quality....when was the last time the UK put out a good QUALITY car....most were bought up by the US and Germany.....and made right. Just because you own a USED BMW does not mean you are a God. Hell, call me Cowboy....but a smart one.
Matter of fact....here you go for your Euro is better stuff.....just for you....because you are from Europe and you are SPECIAL!!!!
Funny thing is....they want to bring it back....LOL
