I had the oil changed and they did not know how to reset the oil life indicator. Does it require a coded device, or is it user resetable?

Thanks

As I understand it, on E46 models from 1999 to 6/2000 require the use of a specialty tool to reset the Service Interval Indicator.

E46 6/2000 and later:

With the ignition off, press and hold the trip odometer reset button (the one on the left) and turn the key to the accessory position.

Hold the button for 5 seconds or more *until* "Oil Service" or "Reset" or something similar appears.

Press and hold the button again for 5 seconds *until* the message flashes.

While the message is flashing, briefly press the button one more time. You should get the message "End SIA"
