What do you mean by a "computer reset"?

If you want to do am oil change, and then have the odometer say "15,000 miles to
next service", then YES, you need to "reset" the computer, but only BMW can do that for you.

Otherwise, just change the oil and be done with it.

My computer currently says "-1,500 miles to next service". I'm hoping to have it say
"-120,000 miles to next service" someday.
