    Inspection light on means that it is due for an inspection, it is acting like normal. Have the inspection performed and they will turn off the light when they are done.

    One option is to buy a reset tool and reset the lights.

    Another option is the following:

    Resetting Oil Service and Inspection Indicator
    Connect a wire between pins 7 and 19 on the round diagnostic port near the coolant fill tank on a Z3. Turn the ignition to positon 2 and after about 5 to 7 seconds, pull out the wire and the Oil Service and Inspection indicator will be reset

    No need for reset tool

    The red light switches on when inspection is overdue. Did you ever see the green ones?

    It counts down the "mileage" till the next service/You should see it come on every time you start the car.Mine takes about 12000 km to go from 5 green to yellow
    Gone but not forgotten
