    Have have several warnings that suddenly appeared so im looking for a decent garrage that is good with BWM electronics around Dublin. Tried BM Workshiop and their tech isnt avaiulable. Main dealer I have used in the past is rubish so wont be going back.

    What car is it and how old is the battery? BMWs can exhibit weird issues when the battery is about to die.

    A diagnostic should reveal the actual issue but it sprung to mind as a common cause of multiple simultaneous errors. Newer cars will need the battery to be coded into the system by computer.

    2015 X5 (F15), it’s saying abs, auto hand break and front collision avoidance all have issues I hadn’t heard that on the battery before which would be better then the competing theory that water ingress has trashed something (I have no evidence of water damage but it coincided with some horrific rain and one of the gully’s looks tot have been blocked).

    DL motorworks, Dave is excellent their. I went to him for the first time yesterday as the BMWorkshop tech was not available and found him to be equally great.

    +1 for DL Motorworks. Those guys really know their stuff. Sorted out my X5 a few years ago and very reasonable.

    Could be any number of things, but since the brakes are common to all the above, I'd be expecting something there. Hopefully basic like a wheel speed sensor rather than the like of an ABS pump.

    Another +1 for DL Motorworks. Very professional outfit and sound lads.

    DL Motorworks we’re great, would highly recommend, owning an x5 I’d recommend less 😅

    Out of interest, what turned out to be the issue?



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 8,683 Mod ✭✭✭✭Rew


    The DSC+ unit has failed. There is seems to be stuff post 100k on the F15 X5 that seems to go and be pricy to replace.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 8,683 Mod ✭✭✭✭Rew


    I sourced the part and had DL Motorworks fit it, they were great would higly recomend them everything abck to normal now.
