My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets. First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.

We've had temps in the mid-90s all week and my 545 started throwing fault warnings, first for Active Steering, then later, joined by ATC. The last time this false alarm happened, the Electronic Suspension code erupted in very cold -10F weather. I'm only at 24K miles, but wondered if anyone else has had to have action taken by the dealer with these.

As of last night, they seem to have subsided, along with the temps.

And in touch they were: BMWNA just phoned to learn more about the codes and any actual changes in physical behavior (none that I can detect). I am desensitized to code light shows and plan to have it checked at next oil change (due in 3K).
Thanks for checking back Paul.
