My Ride: 2006 E60 550i individual, all options besides heated stearing wheel
Default Five faults when starting car

Was going to start my car this morning and i instantly got all these at once.
i have had some of these pop up intermittentøy after going for a short drive to fill up but not all at once.
the car started up without problem, no unusual noice but the steering was really heavy so i parked it.
no fault codes found and no faults when scanning/cheking modules manually with my icarsoft v2.
I need some help!

How old it that battery? Might want to have it checked out. If the battery is good have the alternator checked. Those are the 2 things that can make your car go crazy

The battery and ibs sensor was changed 4 ago and the alternator was changed 2 years ago.
I remember having random dynamic drive faults when the alternator was bad and not giving proper charge before it was changed.
I checked voltage via obd and it was 12.33-12.36 when ignition was on and 14.35-14.38 on start up and after 2 minutes of idle.
I locked the car for 40 minutes and started it again with no fault codes.

Ok. So you're having an intermittent power issue. It's going to be hard to find until whatever it is goes bad.
