How do I re-set the mileage on the service indicator?

For first generation MINIs, try these methods to see which works for you.

Combination 1:
1) Press and hold the trip button
2) Insert key and turn to position 1
3) Watch for RESET to appear
4) Release the button, then press & hold it again
5) Wait for the RESET to flash
6) Release the button, and then press & release (once only)
7) Service interval should then reset to next interval

If that didn't work, try Combination 2:

1. Push the Trip Button
2. Turn ignition key to position 1 and 51A will appear to left of mileage
3. Release trip button
4. Wait 3 seconds
5. Push trip button
6. Wait (5-8 seconds) for RST to appear in left corner
7. Release trip button
8. Push trip button
9. 15000 will appear as new service interval
10. Release trip button

And if still not try Combo 3:

1. Press and hold the trip odometer button.
2. Insert car key and turn it to the first position (not the second position).
3. You will see 51A come up in the trip odometer area.
4. Release, then press and hold again.
5. Watch for the word “RST” to appear on the Odometer indicator.
6. Release, then press and hold again.
7. Wait for the “RST” message to flash.
8. Release, and then press & release (once only).

I recommend all MINI owners purchase a code reader with BMW/MINI fault code capabilities. A code reader tool will provide an easy way to re-set service mileage also.
