How to Reset CBS for Spark Plug & Microfilter?

I did my first spark plug change and micro filter change for my E93 M3 this weekend. Pretty easy, somewhat fun, and definitely an easy way to save $800 compared to the dealership's price!

OK, now the question: on our E9X M3s, how does one reset the service status for Plugs and the Cabin Microfilter?

I found other threads that show how to press the odometer button, pass the yellow triangle, and then use the "BC Toggle" to flip through the available services to reset. I can do that with no problem. However, on my E9X M3, the options that came up allowed me only to reset the following: Front Brakes -> Oil Change -> Rear Brakes -> Brake Fluid -> Emissions -> Vehicle Check.

I have seen other videos posted for BMW E9x (non-M3) cars where in the cycle of services to reset also includes an icon for Spark Plugs, and an icon for Microfilter.

Is there a way to do this on the E9X M3?

Thanks in advance!

Spark plugs and microfilters is not a part of the CBS. They are replaced based on mileage. You need to track it manually.
