ake53 is on a distinguished road
ABS, BRAKE, DSC lights resolved!

hey everyone.
So when I purchased my E53, I had those three lights on.

The owner told me it was because of abs sensor that needed to get dusted off. BS!

So I finally brought it to my friends shop in Springfield MA. He mostly fixes high end vehicles. I seen a few Land Rovers and Mercedes Benz being diagnosed there at that time.

So anyways he tried to diagnose the problem by clearing the codes. But as soon as he clears them, the abs shuts off and brings lights back on.

So he checked the speed sensors, abs module. and than found out it was the Steering angle.

So he calibrated the sensor and that took care of the problem.

This probably happened when the battery died. I had the X parked outside for about 2-3weeks in the sun and the battery had a low crank rate to begin.

So I purchased a new battery. Bosh with higher crank rate.

So now, I have no lights on the dash, and my ABS brakes work.
Person brake tested me while I was driving it home from the shop.
The X has good stopping power...and ABS kicked in for 3-5 seconds.
It feels nice to see the dash being clear.

I have a few dead pixels on both LCD screens. Anyone Know where to get them fixed?

Also I bought a K&N drop filter from bimmerboy12 from bimmerfourms.
Awesome seller, quick shipment.
