hi all.
question to folks who know stuff lol. A few weeks back my wife was driving our X5 and she said some fault came up about the 4X4 system and then a few days later it happened to me, so I stopped and took a photo with my phone of the message.! I later rang bmw assist who said it needed to be booked in a garage to be checked out, this is after fault message gone away and not been back since.!
well today its been in to stratstone at Derby to have a few things done and one being this problem.!
the message said "4X4 system faulty, driving stability restricted, drive with moderation. Have checked as soon as possible by BMW service.!" also next to speedo a orange triangle with a circle around it came on.
dropped car off at 9.30am this morning and they have gave me a brand new 420d sport for the day.! Well about 4pm they rang to say they had done the other bits and bobs but to stop this message coming up again they have had to re-programme the computer or something like that and sometimes its don't take long but my car was I guess hooked up to there computer and they said it was still showing another 2 hours until it was done ??? Can anyone please shed any more light on this please ?? car is 5 years old and have there warranty and will renew after 12 months so not to worried if it does have a fault as it will be there cost but this seems a bit odd to me ??
got the 420 msport still so not really complaining but just would like to no more.!! thanks for reading this, Mark
