Thanks on the X5 purchace.. I love it!! And yes, had a 2003 ZX6RR, traded her in (with 18,000miles) for an 05 ZX12R,(which has 15k on her already!)- but I've used my 6RR screen name since then so i'm just keeping it... Anyway I got in the X5 again this morning and there goes the darn dsc lights again, no speedo the whole works. It's rather frustrating, no miles will log, nothing. I had to drive 300mi this morning w/o a speedo, trip guage, odometer, computer... but somehow cruise controll still worked. I'll Look for that scanner online, see if I can find it.. Will the dealer read the code for free? Or will autozone etc? BTW thanks for the post, I'm totally new to the BMW scene...
