I have a 2006 530d with 1500 km.

Since 5 days ago, about 30 seconds after I start driving it, It gives me the following signal

The first instances, I could make the message disappear by stopping, turning off the car, removing the key and then re-starting again.

But now, everytime I start the car, I get the same message.

Can someone help me how to solve this?

Thanks for your input.

My Ride: MY06 Silver-Grey 530i, Grey Leather, Sports Package, Steptronic, Premium Package, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth (Motorola V551), Llumar Platinum Tint.

My car started doing the same thing about six days ago. I believe it is related to the DSC module. My DSC also went out at the same time. Mine is going in for service next week.

I had the same thing happen on mine, but it went away magically after about 1.5 weeks. I had my car in for service afterwards (also a software upgrade) and it has never reoccured. I think most of the issues like that are software related.
