Error When Driving
This only really happens when driving in the rain, but sometimes, the car will BONG and then the iDrive will notify me that I should drive carefully and brake gently. It says 4X4 in an amber circle: Drive Moderately, Avoid Hard Braking.
On the dashboard screen, 4x4 is again circumscribed in amber, and the ABS light and BRAKE light are on. When I turn off the engine, all of this goes away, and then I turn off the electronics. Restarting the car clears the warning, and when I check the car's handling and mechanical status via iDrive, and it says all is clear and working. It happens occasionally in the rain, not every time. I'm bringing the car in tomorrow. |

It's very strange that most of the owners reporting problems with their F25s live in Chicago. It must be something in the air. Hope the dealership is able to fix this problem. Seems like something that could be a real pain in the a$$. |

They cannot diagnose it yet, so I still have my 535 loaner (which is great, by the way). They said they'll have to keep it for a few days, see if they can make it happen. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

Except that's a singular notification, and it doesn't show up on the iDrive screen...it's also not an error...so...yeah it's not that.

I have the X3 28i, Executive Package, Navi and Premium (basically every package for Canadians). Picked it up 2 weeks ago and had all kinds of errors come on as well:
- Chasis Stabilization Malfunction - Flat Tire Monitor Malfunction - Drivetrain malf. Drive Moderately (reduced power to engine...SLOOOW) - 4 x 4 Errors - Oil Sensor Malf. BMW Assist sent the errors to dealership right away to record the problem. Turned out the Voltage supply from the accelerator peddle was faulty and caused the computer not to know if I was accelerating or not....They replaced it 1 week ago and so far, no errors. |
