12,000 inspection on dash

[bigbacon]

i've had the car since Nov. and I am confused by the dash message when I turn on the car.

it says 12000 inspection and it says that all the time. I swore when I first got the car is had a mileage thing showing that changed.

So does it count upward and then tell you when to get service or what?

It should count downward until your inspection is due

so what if it has stopped counting down? it has said 12000 for a few weeks now.

Try to reset it and see if it fixes it. Search for Z4M inspection reset on Google.

what if I dont have a M?

NM, found it.

wonder why it freeze like that.

It's the same procedure for non M's I believe.

DIY - RESET SERVICE INTERVAL (only for Z4 and E46)
1) With engine off and key not inserted keep pushing the left button on the instruments cluster ;
2) Insert key and turn to position 1 (do not leave the previous button) ;
3) Wait about 5 seconds (button alway pushed) until the service will show on the display ;
4) Leave the button for a moment and then push it again until the rESET on the display will start flashing ;
5) Now release the button and quickly push it again when rESET displays when flashing
