At your own risk!
Writeen for an E30 but should still apply to the E36:- http://bmwe30.net/cgi-bin/datacgi/database.cgi?file=articles &report=view&ID=00042&Section=02 This link includes making your own cable but a piece of fused (5A?) wire should do the trick:- http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/electrical/e36_reset_servic e_lights.html |

Where are you based? Someone near you should be able to lend you a reset tool. They're worth buying anyway- there's a draper one thats about £15 i think

I used the piece of wire on my E30 with no problems, but I can't get it to work on my E36. My pal has a reset tool so I use that!
