Hi Collie and other members,


I have a 2003 X5 4.6is and seem to be having the same problems you had with your ABS module...


The ABS, DSC and BRAKE lights came on (and are now on all the time), no speedometer and the Transmission went into the failsafe program. twice, remaining in 4th gear until the car was parked and turned off.

My Indy mechanic (with his laptop and BMW diagnostic tools) ran several tests on the rear wheel sensors and seems convinced that the problem is a faulty ABS module.

We are not sure about the transmission issue... I am pretty worried considering the cost of replacing sensors, tranny, ...

ABS module: Dealer price is 3 000$ ++, Bosh replacement kit is like 1 500$...

Shoot... I am in Canada and wondering if I should give this BBA reman a try...

What do you guys thinks?

Thanks.
