Reset Service Light

So I put my daughter to work today on "her" Mini. She changed a Vanos solenoid, flushed the brake fluid, inspected the brakes, rotated the tires, and installed a new cabin air filter. Does anyone know how to reset the service light for the brake fluid? I did a search of the forum. The closest thing I could find is a bluetooth OBD tool from WAY, which while cool, would cost about $100. That leads me to believe that I have to take it to a Mini dealer. That would suck since the closest is at least an hour away. If it is a dealer task does anyone know if a BMW dealer could do it? There's one of those much closer.

That's a good question. A while back I saw a thread on this, but can't find it. I one coming up soon so I did some more searching and found this -

I have no idea if it works or not. If you try it, pls post results.

Works the same way on other MINI models, like my R56 for sure.
