Thank You for exactly stating when to keep holding it and when to let it go, other videos don’t say anything so it’s hard to know what to do, but your video was awesome! I got it with ease ❤️
Very welcome!!! I kinda noticed the same thing! I had to at least do it in real time so someone could at least hear/feel the holding pattern. Appreciate you watching! I do my best to help. We're all learning these cars together!
Very welcome, brotha! Welcome to the 2019 330i club! I love this car. I bought mine with 36k miles on it in March 2022. I've already got 93k on it - no problems at all! I wanna run it to 500k and then buy a 35k mile engine and start all over again. Put the 500k engine in the garage since I know it will be ok. Do your oil changes often, and they're not hard to do. Very easy. Easiest of almost any car I've done, I think! And inexpensive if you buy the filters in bulk. I bought 6 filters for $24 on eBay. I buy 12qts of synthetic oil for $50 at Walmart. Been doing it since the day I bought it, right in the driveway. You're gonna LOVE this car!
Thanks Robby! Hahaha! Hey, if it won't reset, it could be you're letting up too quick at one point. Just keep holding it until the screen changes...let up...then hold again, brotha!!
Appreciate you, brotha. This is what we do as a community. We do our best to help our fellow mechanics blaze thru the roadblocks the engineers set in our path.
Don't let it go! LOL! Just hold it...hold it....hold it...BAM! hahahahaha! I had to do the video in real time like that because most of these videos be like, "...count the seconds." We all count differently. I just hold it til it's time to let it go. LOL!
@Jcauto-t4r That's if you use synthetic. 10k is fine. Synthetic can run up to 15k on some cars. I usually run 8k to 10k in all my cars. My 2011 Wrangler (bought at 112k miles) now has 259k miles, and it's always been a 10k oil change...and it's supercharged to 370hp with a lotta torque. Manual transmission so that engine pushes those RPMs. 7k is safe, but these BMW engines can go 10k with no problem.
after holding the bc button instead of getting reset options i get a main menu scroll in the center of the screen, i have a 2020 bmw 330i, i cant figure out why i don’t get the option to reset after diagnosis message
Is your car door closed? I would turn everything off and start over again. That menu pops up for whatever reason, but it'll go away once you do it right. I've seem that and I don't know how it popped up.
For resetting an engine light, you have to get a code reader/resetter. It will fit in the OBD II port under the dash on the driver's side. The reader will tell you what the code is that's causing the light to come on. Could be something simple as a sensor not being plugged in for the air. Once you fix that issue, you can clear the code and drive the car to see if the code comes back on. Some people do it the old school way and unhook the battery for a few mins. Sometimes, that works. A code reader (bluetooth capable) can cost you like $15 on eBay or Amazon. They run thru the Torque Lite app, usually. You can download that from the Playstore. Appreciate you coming thru to watch the video I wanted to kinda help with the BMW crowd, so I drop videos when I'm working on my cars!
@@MicDropBBQ thank you so much for replying with the info I got it checked out it said evap leak it’s under warranty but it’s gonna take some time to get an approval but I still went the engine light off it’s bothering me. I’m gonna get the code reader off Amazon bc when owning bmw it’s good to have ! Thanks so much
@@katbodyxo3 Evap leaks are usually a hose, a gas cap, or the actual evap solenoid getting stuck and sending a code. Easy fix and nothing major. You might smell a little gas from time to time, but that's about it. Summers usually pressurize our fuel tanks and create all kinds of leaks in the evap system. Even if you turn the light off, it's gonna come back on if it's actually a leak. If it just happened on a hot day and sent the ECU a signal by accident, it won't come back on. It happens. I've cleared codes that never came back! LOL! You're very welcome! I'm kinda active on TH-cam a lot, so you'll always get an answer back. I sometimes don't get notifications and I'll see something like a day or two later...even weeks. LOL! TH-cam be messing with me!! hahahaa!
Bro… I went to 2 places and that couldn’t figure it out 😂. I’m leaving to grab food and saw this video and did in the exact time of the video 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️.
@@ozon3Easy LMAOOOO! I hope they wasn't about to charge for it, man! You might have to go back up there and tell them they owe you for the food you bought dealing with the stress they caused! LOL! Send an email to corporate! hahahahaha!
Drain your oil. Super easy. Fill it with about 4qts. Check the engine level when the car is warm. Add whatever amount you need to put it closer to the MAX line
I don't know. I wonder if that's possible. I do mine at 9k to 10k on all my cars. 100% synthetic plus a few additives. Been doing it like that for at least 15yrs of my life and never blew an engine.
Yes. Diagnostic mode will only stay active for literally a few seconds. If you don't engage it, it'll disappear. Once you're done doing whatever it is you're doing (if you're in that mode), it'll close out when you're finished.
You did it right, apparently!! It's tricky! hahahaha! Glad I could help ya out! Took me a couple of tries when I first did it, but now it's like CLOCKWORK! I also have the reset for the brake pads, after you change them out. SUPER easy to change the brakes on these cars. Cost me $33 for the rear pads and $67 for the front pads. Resetting te computer is just like doing the oil.
I hope it worked for you as easily as it works for me, now. It's all about not rushing thru and holding the button long enough. Release, and hold again. Took me a few tries, but I'm a pro at that oil change light now!! Bought this BMW with 36k.milrs in March 2022. Now in April 2023, I've got 82k miles on it. Lotta oil changes!!! Every 9k. Full synthetic. I buy oil filters in bulk...6 filters for $24 online. Glad my video helped ya, Andy!
If the video kinda has ya confused a bit, I also have the TYPED method in the description below! I know many times, not everyone learns from videos, as some people would rather read it and go from there. Hopefully ya got it reset, my man!!!
That happens to me too, you just gotta start back over from scratch. Let the car turn off, open the door again, get back in and repeat the steps. I was like WHY???? HAHAHA Same thing, brotha! It'll act right. The timing has to be perfect and you can't let up on the button til it's time.
@@3fingersalute LOL! I had OIL DIPSTICK on my brain, apparently...working with the oil. It happens. Luckily people that have the same car can look at the video and clearly see what I was talking about. LOL! If someone is blind and can't see, they'll have a problem understand what I'm saying.
@@MicDropBBQLol. The funny thing is I watched it and didn't catch it either and saw that comment and was trying to figure out what he was talking about. Later when I watched it again in my car I caught it then.
Not 100% sure because I've not tried it on a 2021. You can try to see if it works. Might not hurt anything. If it does work, you can post here and say, "...yup! It worked!!"
Make sure hood is closed or it will pop up a systems menus and not the reset menu
I wondered why that menu would come up. Never put 2 and 2 together. Haha! Appreciate it! Now I know how to get to the systems menu!
Keep hol’n it, keep hol’n it, keep hol’n it 😂 thanks for the video! The commentary is amusing
🤣😅😆🤣 I had to say it in real time!! Like a band instructor letting the tuba know when it's time to play. Haha!

good night friend, does this same procedure work to reset brakes? Thanking you for your prompt reply.
@@faverserrano8998 Yessir! I've got the video for it in the playslist for the BMW. Same procedure basically! You got it!

I haven’t got it to work yet, but this is the best oil reset video I’ve ever ever seen
Thanks Robby! Hahaha! Hey, if it won't reset, it could be you're letting up too quick at one point. Just keep holding it until the screen changes...let up...then hold again, brotha!!
Thank you so much! I just finished an oil change on a customers car and went through all the settings and couldn’t find it. Thanks man!

Thanks a lot mate, worked like a charm 👍
🙏 all good, my man!!! Glad ya found me! I do my best to help with garage stuff around here.
Thanks !! I just did mine !!
Did it work the first try? Hahaha
@@MicDropBBQ it did, but it reset the mikes to 10k but I would change the oil again perhaps about 7000 miles but it worked fine. Thanks

How much engine oil should I fill up when the dashboard tells me ‘service requirements engine oil’ ?
Drain your oil. Super easy. Fill it with about 4qts. Check the engine level when the car is warm. Add whatever amount you need to put it closer to the MAX line
I kept holding it lol it worked
Bam! You saw that RESET SUCCESSFUL and I bet you smiled from ear to ear! hahahaha! Now you're a BMW tech! hahaha
Very good thanks bro
Welcome brotha! Saved yourself a trip to the dealership!
Can you change the oil change interval? I'd like to make it 15k instead of 20 😳
I don't know. I wonder if that's possible. I do mine at 9k to 10k on all my cars. 100% synthetic plus a few additives. Been doing it like that for at least 15yrs of my life and never blew an engine.

Thank you, Dr!
Orange my new favorite color
I've been a Chicago Bears fan my whole life. Never owned anything orange til I bought that damn Jeep. Now I love orange cars! LOL!
Why does yours reset to 9000 but mine only reset to 3800? How do I fix that?
What year is yours? Its it a 2019? I wonder if there's something in the settings in the dash that can be pushed to 9k. I thought it was factory.
thx pal!
Glad it got your Bimmer reset!! We help each other where we can!
Does it automatically go out of diagnostic mode after turning off vehicle?
Yes. Diagnostic mode will only stay active for literally a few seconds. If you don't engage it, it'll disappear. Once you're done doing whatever it is you're doing (if you're in that mode), it'll close out when you're finished.
i held it all they way till i parked it just to make sure
