I was searching to reset Brake Pad Service message but couldn't find it in forum.
I tried the "secret" menu, OBD Code reading, & Bimmer code but none worked. For CBS (Condition Based Service) such as Brake Pad, Engine Oil, Brake Fluid, & ETC, you need to be in Diagnostic (PAD) Mode. Here's how to enter and reset.
1. press start/stop button 3 times within .8 second. so it has to be very fast. (without pressing brake pedal so engine is turned off)
2. press & hold "trip distance recorder reset button" 5~10 seconds.
3. briefly press trip button to scroll through menu. when you reach desired service message to reset (it should also display "Reset possible"), Front Brake Pad in this case, press and hold the button until "Perform Reset?" message appears.
4. Press and hold trip button until "Reset Successful" message displays.
To clarify difference from secret menu, this is how you enter secret menu mode. This mode does not reset service message but use it to enter Dyno mode.
1. Turn on the engine.
2. press & hold "trip distance recorder reset button" 20~30 seconds.
3. secret menu is on. To unlock more menu, enter sum of last 6 digits of your VIN. i.e. if your vin ends 100763, it's 17 (1+0+0+7+6+3)
Hope you find this useful.
