The brake pad sensor(s) also need replacement. After that the resetting procedure can be done through the instrument cluster, or with the proprietary BMW software. I must return in a while as I need to research the procedure.

A very easy way to reset this light is to do it with the help of a site which provided free video instructions. The site is www.vehix411.com and it has step by step instructions on resetting the light.
