Morning Michael

Try this,

1. Turn the ignition to ON and press the odometer reset button located on your dash.
2. Hold down the button. Your display will show a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside. Then, it will enter the service menu.
3. Use your turn signal stalk to find the brake light setting.
4. Press and hold the BC button on your turn signal stalk to reset the light.

Hi dave thanks for rhe reply.

Unfortunately I have the screen with no odometer button to be able to push in and reset. Its all done by going into the menu on the idrive.

When I have done this I always use the button in the bottom left below the speedo never needed to go into I Drive ?

Have you checked You Tube ?

Then you might need someone with BMW ISTA to run a scan and reset

If your car is 2020 it is still under Warranty so can't/won't your dealer help?

They might do if I asked at a price.they wasn't amused when I said I was doing the front brakes myself.

I know what you mean, when I upgraded the Front Callipers  on my X5 4.6is to Brembo the service manager looked down his nose and asked me if I realised my front callipers were "non standard" and incorrect so could be unsafe??

I asked him why BMW used Brembo on their competition cars ? He gave a condescending smile and walked away, that was 2004/5 he still doesn't talk to me leaves me to his colleagues. 

Find a good BMW Specialist there is a Register so you should find one near you
