Hey, sure, I still remember that. So the communication problem between the control units was fixed. It cost me a whopping 290 euros. According to the workshop, the reason for this was problems in the vehicle electrical system and the battery, where there were voltage fluctuations. Keep your fingers crossed!

Hey, 290 euros is still doable. Now I feel better prepared when I take my car to the garage. Hopefully it will be fixed quickly and I won't have to see the warning lights again. Thank you for keeping your fingers crossed. Wishing you continued smooth driving! See you then!

Hello, so if I understand correctly, you have installed LED lights in the fog lights? But you get an error message even though you have coded the monitoring?

Hello, I upgraded the phone in my E60 530xi from Nokia 3110 to Samsung, after which the SOS system and Bluetooth failed. Presumably this caused a fault in the BUS system, I am still looking to see if the control unit has remained intact.

Hi I had similar problems with my sat nav. Just went off and on again while driving. I went straight to the garage. A software update was carried out on my BMW there. And fortunately, I've had peace of mind ever since.

Hi, I had similar problems with a 2007 BMW 3 Series (E91). In my case, the problem was solved by restarting the control units (disconnecting the battery for a minute)!

Hey, I know this, something similar happened to me with my 2015 BMW 2 Series diesel. It was annoying with the sat nav, but I didn't have a warning light on. The garage suspected that the communication between the control units was faulty. After a lengthy troubleshooting and repair at the factory, everything is working perfectly again. However, it was not a quick and easy fix. I hope this helps you. Good luck with it!
