Orange Triangle on Speedo Screen

[BER18 100]

While commuting to work, an orange triangle popped up on the screen and remains there.
Have heard about a tool known as GS 911. Is this a must have? Where to buy?
Am looking at a 180 mile trip to the dealership Saturday.

It's likely your "service is due soon" light.

I have the same on mine, which I'll be using my GS911 to reset shortly. For me, the service reset is the only option I can't do on my phone, as it needs an active internet connection while doing the reset. Connecting the GS911 to the laptop via USB and then internet via WiFi is how I reset mine.

Start here if you're interested in buying one:

Hands down...!!! Every BMW owner, who performs their own Annual Maintenance (oil/oil filter change), should own a GS-911 OBD-II HEX tool... In most cases, it pays for itself, after what would have been 1 or 2+ trips to your BMW service shop...

I have one... Changed my life... Definitely improved my self maintenance capabilities..

Hhmmmm, would probably be a better purchase for me than buying 'another' pew pew. But it's like many of our, ahem, 'affordable' pleasures: n+1=enough.

Cheaper alternative ( this device and phone app - 1x purchase ).

anyone close to Lancaster PA who wants to trade a flash of my system for a few bucks or beers?

Recenlty bouhgt a GS-911 for may R18 salvage project. Probably used it 6 times to read codes - kickstand sensor disconnect, coil wire duisconnect, etc. Easily saved me $400 so far. I regret not understanding the different adapters though. I bought one with the older round adapter vs the ODBC. Then I had to order the adapter cable. WiFi is a nice option.
