inspection light

I just changed my horn at a garage on my 528 98 and the inspection light come on but it is just at the start it will stay on for 10 sec and then goes away i think that at my garage they forgot to reste this service light, can i do it by my self

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.

ok but how they turn it off ?

With a reset tool.

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

I don't understand why the first week with the inspection ligh that came one and go the light bar was yellow and then the second week it was yellow and red, what those color mean under the inpection indicator

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

no never see the green light, but like 3weekago i send the car for oil changement , and to do a basic check, then a week later, i changed my horn and the like came on yellow and another week after the red light came on but red/yellow light will be on only at the start for a few second

but everything was fine on the car like 3 weeek ago it was checked

i was a reading an article on the web and what I understand is that the light came up just to send the car to a garage spend money for a check-up even if the car have nothing ,

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
