I have read this thread through. I'm loathe to take this to my main dealer as in the worst case, e.g. hydro pump, I will no doubt take a massive wallet hit which I can ill afford. From what I've read I need to get to the fault codes behind the warnings to know the extent of the issue. What would you guys recommend - take to a local BMW indie (anyone recommend a good one in Berkshire), or some other route? My dealer would probably hit me with a £120 diagnostic charge just to look at the codes.
If you have a a cable and INPA you can get the codes. If you have 5DF0/5DF1 you are probably in for an expensive repair.
Where are you based? Maybe someone or myself can help?
