Well, fault codes are suppose to "always" be stored in the computer, but that function is sometimes faulty as well...

totally agreed. I had the exact same error message and the dealer was not able to see any fault codes.

If your user name "WannaX5" means you do not have an X5, yet want one...trust us who have one!!! Saying fault codes are always stored is pompous & uninformed. Fault codes are supposed to always be strored in the computer...but after 2 E70s, that is not the case!!!

Calling me pompous and uniformed for my comment means you are either a real a$$ or you need a dictionary. I currently have a 2008 BMW 535i which is in the process of being lemoned. Trust me when I say I have had plenty of fault codes and each and every one has been "stored". The one time when the fault code disappeared from my car before I got it to the dealer it was still stored when they did the diagnostic and the service advisor told me they are always stored. So next time you open your arrogant mouth, why not asking me what my story is or what car I have?

You are correct, you are not necessarily pompous, merely uninformed, as in the dictionary definition of "If you describe someone as uninformed, you mean that they have very little knowledge or information about a particular situation or subject. "

Uh, "WannaX5", your original reply only says Location: Los Angeles, and Member. A dictionary?? Huh? Also, how in the hell am I supposed to know/or knew to ask you what kind of car you have, or that you are in the process of a lemon lawsuit? With your username of 'WannaX5', it comes off as someone who wants a BMW (X5) but does not have one. You should have said in my 2008 535i, fault codes are always stored! If you take this attitude, and intelligence into mediation or in a court room for your lemon lawsuit...plan on keeping your 2008 535i.

Actually, I was merely taking your heartfelt advice and consulted the dictionary as you advised in your message. After doing as you requested, and reading the definitions, I posted my message.

Did I do wrong?

If any attorney were to jump to conclusions as you did, I would be sure to win my case. FYI, no need to go to court. All being done through BMW without attorneys. Lemon law is pretty clear and BMW are smart enough to know when they have one. Next time, try not to call someone pompous for merely stating an opinion. Try to correct them nicely as the people before you did. No need to start shit with someone who had no ill intentions in his original post. Imagine if you answered a question the best you could on the 535 board, and for no reason I called you an asshole?

I don't think this was any of your business, and I don't think my "dictionary" post was every directed to you. Now go back to doing your homework like a good little boy.
