All BMW's since at least 2010 require service after the battery is replaced. It's so the alternator knows at what level to charge the battery.

The car will run, but the battery will be overcharged if there is no reset. Independent BMW shops should have the capability to reset.

It's BS, but BMW has come up with a lot of BS lately.

My 2009 requires it. What’s the big deal? I use an independent mechanic and have purchased two batteries over the years. I want my car to work, I’m not waiting until my battery shits the bed before I change it. It’s in the trunk and although I could technically change it, it’s not one easily found at Autozone.
