This problem start with me since 2 mounths ago... They (BMW) 1st, reprogramed the software - the problem appears again after +/- 50 kms, 2nd, they?ve changed a valve (?) - the problem appears again after the sames +/- 50Kms, and 3rd, they changed a hidraulic pump (?) - the car stays ok for +/-1.000kms, but yesterday it appens again. I?m full of it. The 3 firts times, the message appears and it disappears when turning off the car and it stays ok for +/-50Kms with some hard cornering or bumps; Now i turn the car on and it apperas again after 1 or 2 kms without hard cornering or bumps.

I get it infrequently but ctrl-alt-delete always fixed it. Sorry to hear about your problem, the car handles like crap while under the failure.

I just saw that you are a newbie. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is our joke for restarting the car as it fixes many computer/software faults that infrequently happen. If your problem keeps re-occuring then you need to take it to the dealer.
I have had Dynamic drive, Active steering and a few other failures that were corrected that way and most have not occurred again.

Obviously they shouldn't happen at all, but when I got my first dynamic drive failure the car handled very floaty and was all over the road. I called my dealer and drove immediately over there. When I arrived I turned off the car and got the service guy. When I restarted the car there wasn't any fault condition anymore and no error code was stored. It would have been nice to know to restart the car before I drove all the way to the dealer.
I have my car for 15 months and my windows would not go back up twice, dynamic drive twice, active steering twice- that has been the frequency.

Yeah, I get the active steering one like once a week. And my car has the cracking noise at unlocking. But as usual no problem found
