Resetting chip?
Discussion
Not knowing the car I'm not sure, but...........
Euro Car Parts might be worth a look.
In theory it can be done with a piece of wire inserted across the right two ports in the plug, but the propper tool is a little safer.
Arrr just spotted the thread below, your cars probably a little too new for that reset tool, but I'm sure there'll be one on the market somewhere.

Right, done some digging on the net and found out that E46's don't have a diagnostic connector on the engine bay.

"You should not have the 20-pin DLC connector. You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done. "
HTH others, just got to find out prices for oil filter and oil tomorrow. What oil is recommended for the 320d? I think i'll stick with what bmw recommends.
