If you’re getting “Reset Unsuccessfully” make sure that your electronic parking brake is off. I had mine on and was getting the “Reset Unsuccessfully” message and once I turned off the park brake the reset was successful.
Jeezus thank you! Yours is the only video that says to hold the BC button at the same time, which is the only way to do it. If you don’t hold the BC button while holding that other button by the gauges, a totally different diagnostic test pops up. Thank you, obviously BMW made it so hard to reset nobody even likes to mess with em unless it’s a BMW shop . . . and there aren’t any in Great Falls!
Yes what other button? Please. Not working for me . 45 minutes to change the pads and then 2 hours on UA-cam and holding buttons and still have a brake light on dash
Thanks, saved my ass, tried using my snap on scanner and brand new thinktool scanner and could not do it with either of them but your method worked perfect!!!
For anyone having issues not being able to get the reset menu once in diagnostics mode on. Guessing you have the lower end display cluster. Use the "0.0" button on the left bottom of the cluster. Hold it until the reset menu comes up and hold again to make a selection.
If you get an menu that pops up that says “identification, chassis dyno”, restart the whole process. Press the start button three times, hold down the BC button until you see diagnostic mode appear on the bottom of the screen, let go of the BC button and wait 5 seconds, hold the BC button down again and it’ll bring up the option to reset oil light. If resetting was unsuccessful, repeat the while process again and hold down the break for the whole process after you hit the start button three times.
Tip if it does not reset and say “reset unsuccessful “ on the brake drive it for 1/2 mile then try if had 2 now that wouldn’t reset but then will after a drive
I got the notification my brake pads need changing and my check engine light turned on later that day with no faults on my iDrive. Could that be linked?
Mine has a main menu pop up that has several options that include information, system test, chassis dyno. I dont get the normal reset option. Any idea whats wrong with mine? Trying to reset brake pad alert
You didn't entire "Diagnostic Mode". Press the Start button 3 times within 0.8 seconds. The menu you accessed pops up in normal mode, when you hold BC in.

Hit the ignition button 3 times then I hit the BC button until REAR BRAKE Pads Reset Possible came up then let go of BC and Pushed and Held until Rest brake pads 900 mi Reset?. Then let go of BC and pushed it back down and held until BRAKE PADS 900 mi RESET? let go of BC then pushed and held it down and it starts resetting but comes up reset unsuccessful?
Dude, I know this is 1 year later but my light came on at 27k. I looked at all 4 pads and there's tons of pad left. Why would anyone just trust this computer?
I think there is a material piece missing because it hasbt worked on a 2022 x3 yet. I have wasted 20 min watching videos. I think the screen can't be on odometer.

thanks for the reminder on my 2022 M5, they make it annoying to reset the oil and vehicle check, you would think it's on the iDrive screen.

Having the same issue. Did you find any solution?
Once the diagnostic sign pops up wait 5 seconds and then hold down the bc botton
You didn't entire "Diagnostic Mode". Press the Start button 3 times within 0.8 seconds.
The menu you accessed pops up in normal mode, when you hold BC in.
thank you👍🏻
I am a mechanic in Japan. "It was helpful."
Great vid worked on 21 xm3
What if the brake pad reset doesn’t show/pop up ?
i didn't think it would work as my instrument cluster is a slightly different design but it does work! 21 228i xDrive.
Do you have to change brakes to reset? Can a shop say they did and not by just resetting?
You could just look at the actual brakes yourself to see if they’ve changed or not
If it says “reset unsuccessfull” try with the brake down. It worked for me
what do you mean by breaking down? my reset was unsuccesful .
I’m having the same issue. So I have to buy new brake sensor as well??? Please advise. Thank you!!! 🙏

Do you only have to reset the brakes if the sensor goes off?
Hit the ignition button 3 times then I hit the BC button until REAR BRAKE Pads Reset Possible came up then let go of BC and Pushed and Held until Rest brake pads 900 mi Reset?. Then let go of BC and pushed it back down and held until BRAKE PADS 900 mi RESET? let go of BC then pushed and held it down and it starts resetting but comes up reset unsuccessful?
Good Job . GREAT upload

I've reset my front and rear brake pad sensors after changing the pads. Used geniune sensors and now the sensors are not showing in the idrive
Hi
I’ve tried this on the BMW X6 G06. I’ve come to the menu however there is no option to reset the brake service light. Any ideas?
Might be different on the X series cars
@@menjicar any idea on what the process could be to reset the brake light on the Bmw X6 G06?
Does this also clear the notification on the idrive screen?
Yes it does
Thank you SO much! Reset successful!
Is there any other reason why it would still show reset unsuccessful
Do you know how to reset the spark plug error
Thanks for the help man
What if the brake pad option doesn't come up?
The brake pad option doesn’t come up for me either
Hey same thing for me. Did you figure it out?
@@jackodlum7793 brake pad reset doesn’t show up for me either. Did you figure it out?
Same here. Any suggestions?
@@IzayaGalvan-dn8vn gotta reset it with the software. Take it to an indep bmw shop. They should be able to reset it
brakes went down at 18K miles!?? you must drive hard to wear them down already. I own a 540i 2021 with 27K miles and have yet to do any brakes
Soon enough
Dude, I know this is 1 year later but my light came on at 27k. I looked at all 4 pads and there's tons of pad left. Why would anyone just trust this computer?
My 2021 X3 has 33K when the service notification came on.
Does it actually measure brake lining or come on at a preset mileage point?
A super big thanks brother u are amazing
I think there is a material piece missing because it hasbt worked on a 2022 x3 yet. I have wasted 20 min watching videos. I think the screen can't be on odometer.
Thanks dude
