Hi there.
2006 328i with navigation
I've been reading and watching some videos on how easy it was to reset the service internals.
I've only had the car for 3 days but when I got it they showed me all the service was up to date and that the services had X amount of miles left to be done.

My question is. I've put a hundred miles on it already and checking a few of the services they're still at say 7000 miles left.
Should it be a ongoing tracker like if you drive 500 miles it will say 6500 left.
How does this system work and how do you know if it's properly working :)

Second question is when I fire it up it says right rear brake lamp error.
Yesterday I bought new big bulbs for it. Removed the liner on the trunk ( I saw the outer brake lamp was working ) then pulled the bulbs. To my knowledge they looked ok. And when I put my new bulb in it will didn't light up when my wife pushed the brakes.
The car was on and running when she did this.
Should I try to do it at dusk to actually see all the bulbs illuminate or is there some other thing I should look into?
Thanks.
