re countdown - the DEF countdown does disappear. That's the one that hasn't changed with me filling up the reservoirs. When I bought the car (used) it was at 7000. It was showing 3000 when I filled up the reservoirs and still shows 3000. I'm guessing at this point that it's not something that I can change unless someone tells me otherwise. The oil change countdown is visible through iDrive and it's a lot higher.

re filling with funnel - the DEF that I bought came in a box with a faucet and long hose. I let it trickle into the reservoir until it filled; didn't spill. Not having any way of judging how much room I had in the tank, that seemed safest. I had assumed that since the DEF countdown was down to 3000 that I had lots of room for DEF ... bad assumption ... lucky I let it trickle or I'd have spilled a lot of the crap, funnel or no funnel !
