Thanks for sharing your experience! That's really helpful. I just started seeing these errors yesterday, completely out of the blue. Nothing changed or happened before that, was just driving normally when all these warnings popped up. Haven't had any work done recently except for my regular service about 2 months ago at 138466 KM. Your situation sounds spot-on similar to mine. Definitely going to have my mechanic check the emergency call module wiring. Really hope it's just a connector issue like yours. Would be a relief if it's that straightforward to fix. Did your errors also just appear suddenly?

Hey again! Yes, my errors also appeared completely out of nowhere, literally while driving on a regular day, just like yours. One moment everything was fine, and then boom, all those warnings lighting up my dashboard like a Christmas tree! You mentioning it happened right after your regular service actually rings a bell. In my case, the connector issue might have started when they were doing some routine checks around that area. Sometimes these things can get knocked loose during other work without anyone noticing. What I learned from my experience is that BMWs can be super dramatic with their warning systems, one small issue can trigger multiple alerts that make it seem way worse than it actually is. Since your symptoms are identical to what I experienced, and given the timing after your service, I'm even more convinced it's probably the same connector problem. Quick tip though, when I first saw all those errors, I tried disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes to see if it would reset everything. Didn't work for me, but might be worth trying while you wait to get it checked out. Just don't forget to have your radio code handy if you try this! Keep me posted on what your mechanic finds. Would be interesting to know if it's the same issue!

Thanks so much for all the detailed info! That's really reassuring to hear your errors showed up the same way. You know what? I'm actually going to try that battery reset trick you mentioned right now, got my radio code stored safely, so might as well give it a shot! The timing with the recent service makes total sense too. I hadn't even thought about that connection, but it's a really good point about things possibly getting knocked loose during routine work. I've already called my mechanic and booked it in for tomorrow morning. They seemed pretty confident when I described the symptoms and mentioned the emergency call module wiring you talked about. I'll definitely let you know what they find! Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, helped calm my nerves a lot about this whole situation. These luxury cars sure know how to give us a scare with all their fancy warning systems, don't they?

Hey there! I had something really similar happen with my 2015 BMW X5 last year (I have some experience working on cars, but mostly basic maintenance stuff). The symptoms you're describing sound exactly like what I faced, multiple errors popping up all at once. It turned out to be a loose connection in the emergency call module wiring. Took it to my trusted workshop, and they found a damaged cable connector that was causing all these crazy electronic glitches. The fix wasn't too complicated, they replaced the faulty connector and recalibrated the system. Cost me around 95 Euro, and everything's been working perfectly since then. Can you share more details about when these errors started appearing? Like, did it happen suddenly or gradually? Also, have you had any recent work done on the car? This could help pinpoint if it's the same issue I had.
