Check engine light will not light up
SOURCE: 1997 bmw 328i conv.
If you're talking about the Anti-Theft Security code for your radio, I'm fairly sure that only a BMW Dealership would be able to retrieve and reset the radio.
You could also try disconnecting the battery terminals for 10-20 minutes, and see if it resets.

Sometimes you can reset the engine warning light by disconnecting the battery for ten minutes or more (be sure you have your stereo unlock code if needed).
That is not a good solution, it is better to diagnose and eventually fix the problem.
Have the car computer scanned with a code reader, the codes you get in return witll tell you exactly where to find the problem.
Here is the code list.
To get the codes the code reader must be connected to the car computer.
sometimes on Bmw you may need a Interface 16 pin Adapter, depending on the code reader.
Here is a home user code reader : PocketScan™ OBD II Code Reader (AXRCP9125 ...
Here is a good scaner.
Always better having the job done at a qualified garage.

Starter - Removal & Installation
The
starter motor on some models is very difficult to see from the top of
engine compartment as it is covered by the intake manifold. On these
models, without removing the intake manifold, the starter motor must be
removed from underneath the vehicle. Because the starter motor mounting
bolts are not easy to access, a long extension with a universal joint
mounted on a proper sized socket could be used. A three foot
transmission extension is commercially available from tool vendors that
has a 3
/
8
inch drive of the driven end and
1
/
2
inch drive on the drive end. If used with a non-binding impact
universal joint and a proper fitting impact socket, the starter motor
fasteners can be removed from underneath the vehicle.
Once the starter motor fasteners are removed, the
starter motor may have to be moved side-to-side several times to loosen
the dowel pin if it has corroded in place.
NOTE
When the battery is disconnected, the radio code, on-board
computer and clock settings will be lost. The radio code should be
obtained before disconnecting the battery or radio. Once the battery
has been reconnected, the radio will not function unless the code is
keyed in.
