8 For 1991 models onwards, every 24 months, timed from the original date of delivery, a small clock symbol, together with the word inspection will come on. For the 750i, 750iL, 850iL and M models up to September 1994, the clock symbol comes on at 12 month intervals. It is now time for your car's brake fluid to be changed.

hope that helps

Shown in the article is how to make and use a reset tool (maybe useful for future)

I have the Draper reset tool but you cant reset the brake fluid light with it

Looking through the articles, the ignition key has to be in Pos 2 and the length of time the reset is held determines the reset type - it looks like 3 to 4 seconds for oil reset?

I bought a reset tool from Bavarian Dominator, cost about £15
can be used to reset the clock symbol & service indicator lights
