Somebody did read the codes but it didn't show anything. I don't think it was a BMW scanner though. I have heard that means it won't pick up ABD/DSC codes. Is that correct? I could take it a BMW garage but would cost a bit. Is there a scanner worth getting that I could check the codes with?

Also, what do you think the problem could be?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks

You need to get it properly scanned. More than likely you are experiencing a failing ABS module (on a smaller not could be wheel speed sensor). This is a fairly common issue on the X5s. Do a search and you will have plenty to entertain you.
