Boys - these came on permanently very soon after changing the rims from grey to black and only about 100 miles after an Insp 1 and health check.

I know what the manual says, but any experience? Thoughts ?

Not worried abt lack is TC but the handbrake yellow suggests brake assist affected ?

Is this another gremlin caused by rim change?

Is that a dealer visit or will it right itself ?

Yanto it may be your brake pressure switch playing up again.run it to me anytime your free we stick it on the machine dude!!

If its a pressure switch we just run to bmw to get one its cheaper then the fuel n time to elms

As an option!!

Could also be steering angle sensor. That's what mine was for some unknown reason as it just randomly popped up over a month after getting tracking done.

Best to get it plugged in using BMW software if you know anyone, I have it on a laptop which is handy as hell as you can also reset things if they do pop up.
