How do I reset the service interval display on my 2000 BMW Z3. I have just changed my oil and need to reset. I found the data link on the console and have been told can be done by grounding the 7 pin for 3 seconds while the ignition switch is on. Will this work? Thanks!

1. Insert the reset tool into the diagnostic connector.
2. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
3. Push and hold the applicable button on the reset tool (OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION). OIL SERVICE RESET

O Yellow LED illuminates after 10 seconds .
O Yellow LED goes out after 3 seconds .
O Release button and remove tool.

INSPECTION RESET

* Green LED on tool illuminates.
* Red LED illuminates after 3 seconds .

I've found nothing to confirm that grounding 7 for 3 is a reset procedure.

Thanks for your help. I was hoping that I wouldn't need to purchase the relatively expensive reset tool.

Sorry, they do range around $100
**edit** but you can share the expense with others in similar vehicles...
