I got this light the same day I got my active steering error and my servotronic error. I took it to dealership and they said nothing was wrong, that the system lost calibration for some reason and just needed to be recalibrated.

I bought my car as a CPO so I got the extended warranty which I have used a few times now due to electronical errors. If you ask me I would get the extended warranty not because of the mechanics of the vehicle but because of all the electronical things in the car.

I just had my 04 E60 in for the third time for this issue.

You want the warranty for the electronics and auto trans (if so equipped)

I had the same error come up like this, I took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it as a bad DSC control unit, they wanted $4k to replace it....I drove it home that day and declined the repairs at the time. On the way home I had the car stall on me once. I almost crapped my pants, thinking more to add to the problem. I got an estimate from an independent BMW shop that I heard good things about from bimmerforums.com and they said they could do the job for $2700. So I took it there, they ended up changing my battery because they said it seemed like it couldn't hold a charge. Now no more problem. So it went to a $500 bill, which was battery plus new rear brakes and diagnostic tests. I was happy to pay that. No problems since... *knock on wood* I don't know if my problem is common though. Glad it turned out to just be the battery though.
