Anyone have this happen?
Took the 4.8is to get detailed. I picked the X up and drove about 3/4 of a mile from the detail shop and i got a "DSC/4X4 Inactive" light. Then about 10 seconds later got "TransFailsafe", then 10 seconds later "Engine Failsafe". I limped into a parking lot to shut down and restart. Engine would make 1 revolution, then alarm chirp, and CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK. I had to catch a flight so I called BMW Roadside and left the key with my wife and she dropped me at airport. I told her to try starting BMW once she got back to meet tow truck and sure enough, X started up and drove home just fine.........Could something have gotten wet??????
Makes no sense to me. |
maybe they had the radio left on too long, and killed the battery?

Sounds like a weak battery to me too. I just had my 3rd battery installed a few weeks ago. My 2004 4.4 did the same thing, and also the instrument cluster went haywire, radio didn't work, etc. I went to the dealer after jumping the car and they said my battery was really weak from inactivity. The battery drained over a period of a year and just couldn't sustain all the power-intensive items in the car. The car shut down all non-essential systems until a new battery or a full recharge could be done.

Definitely not battery. Fully charged and works fine. I can only assume something got wet and caused it to go haywire. Everything is fine now. Just never happened before and only variable was the Car being washed.
Weird...... |
