wats up guys, i currently have an 06 530xi with 70k mi. i had an issue earlier with the car.
i was parked and leaving as i started the car and circled the parking lot. i felt the front right wheel locking up when i was turning to the right, no issue really when the wheels are driven straight, i heard a bit of grinding noise too. after that the awd error message showed up. i backed up then forward then turned off and started the car. message gone and everything was fine again. has anyone had the same issue? normally i wouldnt worry so much but i couldnt keep still knowing the car made
grinding noises. not sure if the diff locked locked by chance. anyway ive never had this issue before, also searched around couldnt find anything bout it. thanks in advance guys
