I had a warning message Dynamic Stability Control Malfunction pops up few days ago, and ask me to contact BMW dealer ASAP. I had an appointment made for this morning. The warning message pops up every time right after I start up for 3 days. But since last night, the warning message stopped, I called the dealer and canceled the appointment because I don't think they will do anything if there is no warning message.
Does anyone experiencing the problem before?

I have gotten the message a couple of times. It usually happened when I was sloppy in a turn - in third gear instead of second. The message has always gone away when I restarted my car. I haven't seen it in a while - I must be paying better attention to which gear I'm in. It never required a dealer visit, just a restart. Hope this helps, good luck

Hi Freewilly,
Not sure if your warning message is the same as mine (see attached images). However, I recommend that you let the dealer take a look at your car anyway for possible prevention in the future. Since you are not in a hurry at the moment, make sure to schedule your appointment ahead of time so your can request for a BMW courtesy car.
Best regards,
Freedom

Yes, it is exactly the same as mine. But the problem went away after 3 days, it's been working okay for now.

Damm, the error message comes back again. I am calling my dealer.

Yes, the error won't be remediate until the dealer diagnose the problem . Even though the warning message does go away, there are error logs that the system will keep for trouble shooting purposes.

My car was in for a sticking drivers window, ac fault and battery drain error report this week.
Predictable the window fault and the error message hid themselves nicely and refused to play up.
BMW were fine though and took action anyway.
