My Ride: 05" 545i 6 speed
hi guys,
i just purchased a 2005 545i sport , 6 speed manual. What a fun car to drive, i just cant stop. When i was buying the car the battery was completely dead, i could'nt even adjust the seats. Upon charging the battery, many lights lid up on the panel, including, air bag, seat belt, active steering and check engine. I went to a local shop, friend of mine, and he restarted several codes. NOw all i have is the active steering light on. Is this a problem or he just wasn't able to reset it? and on the idrive panel it says i need to check my break fluid. IS this connected? has anyone had this problem? thanks

It seems even after charging your battery, it either needs more battery fluid or it just wont hold the charge anymore so you need a new battery. About Active Steering, you have to reset it at the dealer , it takes 15mins and needs to be connected with the Progman.
Thanks you, I think what i'll do first is check the power of the battery and at a local mechanic, and see if its actually producing enough power. And i also did what the manual stated about the active steering, which is turn the wheel all the way to the left then back to the center turn off the car and turn it back on.. still the light remained, so i think i have no choice but the dealer, but then again i wonder if its a true problem, and maybe i can drive like this all thought its somewhat annoying with the light on.
