My Ride: 2006 530xi 12/05 production, monaco blue/gray, steptronics, premium, cold weather.
Hello, E60 gurus out there,
My Dec 06 built 530xi is giving me "start-off assistance malfunctioned, AWD DSC malfunction" message.
The car drives fine, and it disappears when I reboot, I mean restart the car.
What do you make of it? Any experience?
Thanks in advance.

If it dieappeared after a reboot it's probably just a software bug.
It's kinda annoying, and makes me a bit nervous.

I just had the same problem resolved at the dealership after waiting 3 weeks for my appointment. I was able to drive with those malfunctions lights on for 2 weeks. The last week was very scary as the steering wheel became very tight whenever I made a turn. The turn signal also was very unstable. I would stop driving once you experience those symptoms. Best of luck and drive safely.

Yes. SZL strikes again. Good luck!
