Could any of these be code related?

That's a good question Vince. I figure at least one or more codes are due to my faulty angel eye bulb. I do wonder about the others though. Is anything due to coding? Once I look up the codes, I plan to clear them and drive more. We shall see of any of them pop up again.

YES, just confirmed with Steven, these are from Coding the Alpina. the 511b will remain, but is recognized by BMW. We can chat more if you like once we re-code the Amber Delete. He may forgot to clear after flash. No biggie he can do it again.

Great info Vince! That definitely makes me feel better. I'm going to clear the codes and see if anything pops up. The car drives absolutely fine. No issues but I can't stand seeing a half-engine or SES light. I really do hope its all bogus codes. Sure as heck don't want an expensive repair.

*BTW, I did search and most of these codes seem to be erroneous. I'll check for loose connections inside the engine bay then reset codes. Fingers crossed!

well, these codes that are related to Flashing and Coding does not affect Half Engine light and or SES light. So there still could be another issue.

Unfortunately I bought my tickets before I found out about the corral deal from BMWCCA, is there a way to get in at the corral once I'm there?

Well today's news really sucks.

I asked if Lux v4s were coming out any time soon about 2 months ago when I was doing my research. Only got mine and had them installed about a month ago. Now there are Lux v4s and I am now outdated.
