As above ,Yes you can reset by earthing the appropriate pin on the diagnostic connector. Make sure you get the right pin.

Alternatively you can buy an inexpensive plug-in reset tool which will do the job. Mine was about 30 bucks from memory (ebay) and has done a great many resets on lots of different bimmers over the last few years.
