2002 Series 3 service reset on dashboard

#1

I have a 2002 325i with 88,000 miles so I stopped taking it to my dealer
long ago to save money. But my mechanic (whom I like) doesn't know how
to reset the "service needed" dashlight after, let's say, an oil change.
Does anybody know how to do this?
thanks,
David Newton

Might be an idea to use a mechanic with a working knowledge of BMWs? The
professional way is to use a special tool to reset this and they aren't
expensive. What other necessary tools doesn't he have?
