We just took our e46 in for its annual oil service. The mechanic forgot to reset the service indicator. So what would you do in our place:
1. Do nothing now.
1a. Try and get an additional oil service when the indicator goes to zero. (about 2000 miles from now)
1b. Ignore the service indicator for 10 months -- next oil service in 1 year.
2. Call our sevice advisor. Get a reset, hopefully over the phone.

Why would you get another oil service?
Call them, make an appointment, get it done in 10 minutes and drive away.

I just had the same problem after my oil service. I called the service advisor, went there and he reset it in 30 seconds. More importantly, you may want to make sure your invoice shows they changed the microfilter, because usualy, if they did not reset the SI, it is because they were thinking of an intermediate oil change, not Oil Service

I just had a "time" oil change done they did not reset the SI and I am showing one yellow bar. I will take all of the free oil changes BMW will give me.

I've had 2 "time" oil changes done on my 04 330cic (I only have 11k miles on it). No SI reset for either of them.
