I tried the interval reset thing, but it's not working. What else can I do?

Efthreeoh · 09-28-2013, 08:28 AM

Who did the work?

BMWUltimateDriv3r · 09-28-2013, 08:45 AM

An indy.

They probably forgot the sensors -the sensors are pretty critical man.
Do they specialize in BMW and imports?

I think Sensors only throw the code/car on lift sign.
In this case, it may be computer reset

VTECaddict · 09-28-2013, 03:37 PM

Are you sure you're resetting the front and not the back?

ssmith96 · 09-28-2013, 03:55 PM

Probably the sensor, its a cheap part and should take any good mechanic maybe 7~ minutes to replace

I had a dealer install a bad sensor once and it did this. They told me that the car throws an error and defaults to a crazy overdue number like that. They swapped out the sensors and all was well.

Do you have iDrive? It could also be a system glitch. I had this happen to me a while ago. I was 353k mi over due on my brakes lol. The dealership just resets the computer. Took a few hours to complete.
