Hello all,
Hoping to get a little help here--I've searched this and other BMW forums, no conclusive answers yet. Some of the responses on other threads/forums deal with air suspension, but pretty sure my 2011 does not have air suspension.

Today while returning home to Austin from Houston, I stopped 90 miles in for a bathroom break, and as I hit the brakes firmly and placed in P to shut off, the Dynamic Drive error popped upon my dash screen, first time ever.

:-(

Car is a 2011 X5 35i with 92,000 miles.

I thought it odd that the firm stop and into P triggered this warning.

Multiple power cycles will not re-set the dash warning--it persists.

Got home to my garage and came to a stop again and placed the car into P--this again triggered a fresh Dynamic Drive Malfunction warning, even though it was already showing on the top line of the iDrive display as an active fault.

So, it seems stopping and possibly putting into Park is triggering this.

I did a cursory search and found a few hints, re: battery condition and power steering fluid--both are OK. Battery is a recent install and power steering reservoir is full.

I connected Carly and pulled a single code:

006273. The Carly code readout also provided the following info:

"Predrive Check: FS Okay, VA and RA valve is energized open."

That's it.

By the way, clearing the code in Carly did nothing--the warning remains visible in the iDrive display.

Can ANYBODY provide a clue to where I can begin to trouble shoot this issue?

Funny story--as I headed home today, I stopped in Houston at a BMW dealer to explore trading this 2011 X5 for a newer 2020 X5! I should have traded it then and there!!! ARRGGHH!!

Any help appreciated and thank you,
