Yeah, that happened to my car after I did the ECU remap on the car, but that was because of the ECU Remap. The remap was programmed against a 530i and not the xi. The car was totally fine and it would eventually go off (AWD, DSC and Start-Off). Since you haven't done an ECU remap, it sounds like your car is either screwed or the software just has a glitch. Sucks. I would take it in.

I'm sorry about offtopic, but I have to ask:
DrLev - What happened to your M5? Gone?

Not really gone, but you could say a new owner.

Okayy, so my DTC button is not working. The dealer said its okay to drive. Does this mean that it will have a better chance of slipping when I drive it tomorw in the rain? The orange triangle is not going away that indicates the dtc is off. All I want to do is turn it back on because I need it for the weekend and probably wont be seeing the dealer until next week.

Hmmm w/ your dash lit up like X-mas tree like that I think your car now in safe mode...

Try to disconnect the ground/negative (black) battery cable & wait for a bit long and put it back see if its any better... GL!

You should get the PES Remap for your car.
