I have a 2007 550i and the drivability malfunction light came on and caused the abs and traction control light come on. Can this be fixed or dealer only? Need help!!!!

 

What were you doing when it came on. Do your tries have the right amount of air? Has there been work done with suspension, tires or brakes recently? How many miles do you have on your car? Need some history and preferably codes. Anything can be fixed at home with the right tools and knowledge but we need more than your initial statement to help you out.

 

To be honest I towed the car to my house cuz the oil pressure light came on. And didn't wanna drive back home like that. It's a it has 114k miles and it hasn't had any work on suspension or breaks or anything. But once we got home and and unloaded the car it had those lights and my steering wheel got kinda hard like when you don't have power steering

Did you have it towed on a flat bed? If not that is your problem. The oil light should of came on because you had low oil. Check your oil level and add as needed. Unplug your battery for 20 mins then take it for a drive. If it doesnt reset itself you may have a big issue.

 

It was on a dolly. I'm gonna reset the battery tomorrow and see if goes away. Hopefully it does cuz I know it's expensive to fix.

 

Yes it will be. If your wheels were not touching the ground you should be ok with the reset. For some reason these cars do not like being in the air. I know every time I put mine in the air not leveled a light comes on.

 

Yeah 2 wheels where off the ground. I was a safe tow and wasn't far from home. Im gonna reset it tomorrow with battery and i will get back to you if it comes off. Hoping it does lol.the light put a knot in my stomach haha $$$$

 

If it comes off always remember to request a flat bed tow truck. You always want all your wheels of the ground no matter what car you have. I told my friend that and he didnt listen. He had his Audi towed and his transmission was toast. Had a $6700 bill on a used car he just bought not even 12 months prior.

 

Damn that's crazy. I had no clue bmw had those kind of sensors. Or else I would have jus called a flat bed. Lesson learned. I'm still learning more on bnw. I've had 2 e39's 528 530 but the e60 I gotta do more reading up on things like this
