Disconnect the battery for 30-45 seconds by removing the negative cable, or take it to a BMW shop to have them flash the compuer.

With your age of car, disconnecting the battery probably won't cause any issues. If you have a high-end, modern stereo system in it, though, you'll want to get the computer flashed--because disconnecting the battery for that long will lock you out of your stereo system.

try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes.
