R56 Brake Pad Sensor

After a warning message came up on my Nav on Friday telling me that my front brake pads needed changing (the final warning, not xxx miles), I have just swapped my OEM pads for Mintex ones.

I've replaced my pad sensor with a new one from BMW, but the warning is still coming up after over an hour. Previously I had the warning in two places; under the service warning menu, and under the error check menu. The error check menu is no longer showing the error, but the service warnings is still showing front brake pads due.

Any ideas?

Finally found the answer... credit goes to Humph. I'm not sure why I didn't find that on my first search, but nevermind


MAKE SURE DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED

Insert Key

Do not press clutch / brake

Press Start button

Wait until the Car / revelant Service symbol disappears on the Rev counter display

Immediately after the symbol goes out - Press and hold Both buttons on the Rev Counter

Continue to hold - the system Will run a dash light check

Continue to hold

Display will then show VIN / Menu, - continue to hold through this until the time Reappears on the display.

Now release Only the Right hand Button (trip reset) for about a second, and then press and hold again (whilst still holding the LH button)

After another second or 2 the display will show the Front Brake Symbol You Are Now in the Service Menu

Use the BC Button (on indicator stalk) to scroll through to the relevant symbol - eg Rear Brakes



To Reset the warning indicator light - Press & Hold the BC Button at the revelant symbol until RESET appears - then press and hold again until the process is complete.



Turn Off and On the Ignition again - Warning should now have gone!

Sorry if this is a silly question, does this process reset the mileage counter, just about to change my rear pads. Vehicle is a 2008 Cooper S, the Turbo one
Thanks

George
