Chassis error message help!!!
So I have just jumped in the car on fire up I got the chassis ewsrming error message pop up. What could this be ? I’d like to add I have adaptive suspension so I’m guessing if it’s suspension related it’s going to be expensive ?
Has anyone had this problem and where should I start with making sure I can cross off possible causes Thanks |

Bimmerlink or ISTA will give you the error code.
Some of these errors come from the fuel cap not being tight (believe it or not) and it's less likely to be an expensive damper, rather a sensor. Where in the world are you?

It's probably worth downloading Bimmerlink and picking up a WiFi dongle to check for yourself tbh

I had that error last week!!
I've had the car (adaptive also) for 9 months and covered 17k miles … first time I'd seen it & was a day after its first official service (had done interim oil & filter change at 9k myself). Was peed off at the time, but it never came back again & have covered about 800 miles since (Touch wood!)

Not free or cheap - £20 ish - but worth having for sure.

Yes that adapter is the same (they come in different colours for some unknown reason) but the Amazon one is cheaper.
I think Bimmerlink is available for Android...?

MarkG_M3CP Bimmercode has always been for android. Bimmerlink is IOS only.
I'm giving Deep OBD a go. It's got 2.5gb of codes in its database so I'm hopeful. I'll nip out to the car in a bit and see what it says. It could be good for free. |

I have the ISTA software on a PC for running more thorough error checks - it shows the ECU 'tree' and links to some of the test you can run. You can also clear the error log completely.

Luckily mine is still under warranty, although I'm not looking forward to issues with the suspension if the error comes back. I will be interested to find out what the error was if you can get a fault code.

I had a damper fail while IN warranty on my 335d...
I'm guessing you don't want to know the cost they wanted to charge me because of the ACS springs?
