My Ride: 2006 530xi
Default 2006 530xi malfunctions

2006 530xi is having all kinds of problems. Loss of power steering, 4×4 ,abs,dsc,ebv trans p0700, speedometer not working, miles not adding up, runs out of gas when ac is on at half tank mark, no tractions controls, braking is hard. One time I was washing my car power wash everything and all the dash lights went off and everything was working fine. Power steering, brakes, speedometer, it was perfect for about 3 miles down the road and then it all came back again. Help

First, check your trunk for any signs of water ingress.

Remove the spare and check under it. It's a common place for water to mess up electronics. There are a few places that leak and there are threads for it. Trunk seal or clogged sunroof drain are most common as I recall.
