My Ride: 04' 545i SMG , Oriental Blue, Congiac Leather Interior, Nav., Park Assist, Logic 7, Sports Pkg, Cross drilled slotted rotors, ceramic pads, SS Brake lines, free flow air filter and a supercharger (coming soon)etc.....all the good stuff
I get this in code error, everytime the temperature is below 30 deg. and I start my car.
After I let the car warm up for 20min. I shut the car off, and then restart it adn it's perfectly fine. Is this somthign I should bring to the dealers attention tomorrow when I bring it in for a faulty passenger airbag, restraint system warming?
Thanks for the info

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
My active steering has failed to start on several occasions in my 6300 miles. Seems like after a minute or so it kicks in and all is well. If I got any warnings I didn't see them.
Mine experience was not related to cold weather.

Not a big beal on the duplacate, it's kinda like there is an echo.....lol 
I get the waring ahd everything. I have 66k miles on mine, but it only happens when the weather is below 30 deg.
Is it possible that the fluid is think and with the cold weather and sitting for 8hrs, it takes a while to thin out and circulate?

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
Fluid contracts with the low temps and thus takes up less volume, this can trigger a sensor to report a problem. The first cold day on both my 545 and 535 produced a low engine coolant message. The level was at the minimum marker so I added some to top it off and never had a problem again.
