R60 Brake Reset Issue (Front)

Brake Reset Issue (Front)
So I replaced my front and rear pads and rotors. I was able to reset the rear brake service indicator but not the front. The front is staying at 1500 miles. The sensor wasn't damaged or anything.
I've followed around 4 different ways of resetting already and none have worked. Do I need to simply buy a new sensor for the front to reset the service interval?
On a side note, I didn't get the immediate braking performance & bite I thought I would (Carbotech pads/ Stoptech rotors) and brake feel is almost like it was stock. I guess I need to upgrade my brakelines..
Thanks!

Thanks - yeah, I figured that at this point. I wonder why the rears were able to reset though?
I'm also wondering now that the pads are replaced if it will just stay at 1500 miles and not countdown. I would like to replace he sensor, but it seems the opposite end of the plug goes behind some molding w/c seems like a hassle to remove : (

Some people just splice the sensor wires together and don't replace anything. Personally I don't do that. I think it is unfair if I sell or trade the car in for future owners.
The real test of the brakes is a full on panic stop for me, everyday braking doesn't feel all that different when I've changed pads/rotors.
