Never mind! This can be deleted and I'd do it myself but can't see a delete function when I go to edit.

We had this issue with an '05 e90 330i and then an '07 e92 323i. Using an Autel scanner, i was able to reset all the brake pad sensor warnings (even though i didn't change the sensors, and their KMs had been exceeded). If you happen to use one of these scanners, the most useful resets are under the "service" section of the main menu, as opposed to the "Scan" section.

If it's still not letting you reset, it might be worth getting a bit dirty and checking that the brake sensors are definitely plugged in correctly and that the sensor end is not broken. If you're like me and check your brakes regularly, the sensors are useless to you, so you can just bypass them (search bmw e90 brake sensor bypass on youtube).
