Resetting only mileage for oil change interval
I took my car in for service about 2 months ago. And now my car is telling me my oil change is due again in 500 miles or AUG 2019..? As far as I can tell they messed up and set the oil change to 1,000 instead of 10,000 miles but updated the year correctly. I can take it back to the dealer but the nearest is a 2 hour drive each way.... is there anyway to reset the mileage to read the correct service interval along with the date? I have seen the reset oil change posts and videos but they appear to reset the year and mileage together. I have BimmerCode as well if it requires coding. Trying to avoid the 4 hour trip for a stupid oil light reset.

This does not answer your question, so apologies up front.
But, I wanted to respond because this happened to me the other day. I got my car back from the dealer after my 20K mi. scheduled service (at ~18K) and the date was reset, but not the miles. I brought it back (2+ hour round trip), they reset it again and it was fine. They said they had never seen one reset w/o the other. So I thought mine was a freak. It's interesting to see that I'm not the only one that this happened to.

nothing will happen if you go below the service mile anyway but kind of annoying |

I had my car hooked up to a Snap-On diagnostics tool and set mine to 8000 miles for oil changes instead of the 15,000 that it was set at.

Do you have a model number for the Snap-On tool, or a name for it?

Any of the major tablet/dongle based professional scan devices should be able to use this feature. I found a local car enthusiast who was willing to let me use it for free. I was on one of the local Facebook groups and posted asking the question. Most of the off-the-shelf versions available to normal consumers will not be able to access this feature. That's probably a byproduct of the high cost of the tool ($8000) in this case.
