The BMW e46 model doesn't feature a headlight warning indicator but is equipped with a check engine light. Resetting the check engine light in this vehicle is not possible. It illuminates as a sign of an underlying issue with the car, which could be related to various factors. Therefore, it may not be worth your time searching for a minor problem unless it is glaringly obvious. The recommended action is to take the car to a mechanic and have them use an OBD tool to scan and retrieve the trouble code, indicating the issue's location. Once identified, the problem can be addressed, turning off the light. One simple thing to check before visiting the mechanic is the gas cap and fuel door. If the cap is off or the door is open, it can trigger the light. This is a trivial matter to consult a mechanic about, so it's best to verify it first.
