ABS dead

The car has been parked in the garage for around 3 weeks under a cover all good .
Thought i would give it a run on Thursday backed it out of the garage warmed up the engine, then BING BONG ABS failure .

Drove the car to work pluged in Autologic and it comes up with ABS failure replace unit.
Spoke to BMW sorry sir your price is $3400.00 i said shit not a good look as the car has only done 12,00km seams like a lot of pre 09 BMW have this issue and no fix just replace. No way was i a happy camper this is crap, i want a new Buell not a new ABS unit.

So here we go another R&D fix, Chris and i spent most of Thursday stripping the unit very carefully to see how the thing works.

Well the short story its all good now i wonder how many units have been biffed into the bin when they could have been fixed
and could have saved the client $5000.00.

Shit that doesn't sound good, one would think that there should be nothing wrong with it as you pointed out!

I guess you could get one used for a reasonable price, hopefully advan can nut this one out!

All fixed , cost about 4 hours labour and two ltrs of brake fluid.
Still sucks this should not happen. I love these cars BUT there are just to many electronic issues for such a newish car, i do pitty the owners in 10 years time God help us all.

If i could not fix the unit you would have no option but to replace, as you cant recode a used unit Sucks.

BMW ( Bring Money With you ) car price $125,000 service cost 10 years $50,000 why would you

Yep still got the R33 GTR its done 8600km in 15 years, Summer time i spend what free time i have riding my bikes. But then i dont like to drive the BMW in the rain so it looks like the Bimmer will stay in the garage under a cover. Still thinking tp purchase a 09+ M3
E92 around the end of the year im loving that V8

So someone will get a nice low k E92 335 soon

Hi Peter,

Do you know if the ABS unit in the 335i E92 is the same as a 325i E92?

yes

for every non-engine related sensor, the answer is also 'yes'
