Firstly ( assuming you have replaced the brake pads) you MUST replace the wear sensor with a new one. Lower drivers window, With door closed, lean thro open window and put ignition on without starting, leave for 15 minutes minimum, switch off, then start car. If this fails and you are unable to cancel warning via I drive button, then an appropriate scan tool will be required.

there is no reset. if the light is still on, there is a problem with one of the pad sensors or the connection. also, make sure that the front pads are not worn enough to trigger the light.

ABS and ASC warning lights stay on 2000 530d
Check to see if your brake pads and rotors are in good condition. Or if you have replaced the pads yourself and have not reset the wheel sensors this would cause the ABS Antilock Brake System light and the ASC Automatic Stability Control light to stay on as the ASC uses the ABS brakes with computer assistance to control the car

BMW 5 series - 2005 model - resetting service & waring lights
the brake pad warning light is controlled by a sensor located in the front and rear brake pads, small contact with 2 wires that plud into a harness, if they are bad I think the replacement cost is around 5-10 dollars for a new one, there will only be one in the front and one in the rear, the service light is turned out by a special tool at the dealer
