Service brake lamp should of gone out when they replaced the wear sensor when doing the pads. If they just replaced the pads and didn't replace the sensor, you should replace the sensor also to get the light to go off. If they replaced the sensor and pads for those wheels, then they need to trouble shoot to find out why the light is staying on. Anytime you do a brake job on a Bimmer, you replace the wear sensor on which end your doing the brake job on.

The change oil light needs to be reset with a special tool that plugs into the diagnostic connector. You can buy them pretty cheap from the aftermarket.
