Could someone out there please tell me how to reset the "Service Interval Display" on my 2000 323i? I recently had my oil changed (not at a BMW dealership) and no one will tell me how to reset the display. Thanks!

[thumb] Here ya go, this piece of equipment is what you'll be needing. Product Description:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BMW service light cluster:

Pictured at right is the Oilservice/Inspection, Service Reminder light cluster found in BMW automobiles. They are easily reset with our low cost, service light reset tools.


No more driving around with those lights on! Do you change your own oil or go to a fast lube? If you do, then the R5 reset tool is made just for you. The R5 gives you the freedom to reset your own Oilservice/Inspection lights, allowing you more choices in service.

Super easy to use: Can you pump your own gasoline? Can your check your oil level on the dipstick? If you answered yes, then you are perfectly capable of using the R5. It takes 15 to 20 seconds, and you don't even have to get your hands dirty!

Very affordable: Even though our product is designed to be used daily by professional mechanics, it is quite inexpensive: For $49.95, we sell you a tool that fits your year BMW. If you're a mechanic and need coverage of all years and models, we offer a two piece universal reset tool kit for $67.90 which fits all BMWs regardless of year or model.

Tested and warrantied: Every unit shipped since 1989 has been fully tested to assure proper reset characteristics and, above all, to preserve the proper operation of your BMW's internal electronics. Warranty is three year P&L.

Do this: (this is from my330i.com)

A. Model Year 1999 to Mid-2000: You should have the older round 20-pin DLC connector under your hood behind the battery terminal, you need to use a small length of wire to connect (short) pins 7 and 19 for 3-5 seconds with the ignition key in position 1 (Accessory).

B. After Mid-2000: You should not have the 20-pin DLC connector. You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done.
