Started my car this morning and drove it down the road for about 3kms, then idrive went "ding' and the message appeared on screen "Faulty Transmission" and within 5 seconds, another few "ding, ding, ding" from the idrive and it shows also "damper control faulty", "DSC faulty", "Runflat Warning" all of the above shows faulty at the same time! Dropped it off at the BMW service center and they will do a DIS System check, still waiting for their reply.
Anyone had the same problem before?

Runflat warning and DSC faulty could be result of faulty ABS sensor. In my case it was. But those other things tell something bigger, maybe.

Faced this prob when I first received my M6. Apparently there is a sensor for the DSC that controls everything else. Its coded and one cannot just install one from the shelf. Your agent will have to bring the car in and order the part from Germany. May take a few days. Thats all there is to it. Your ride will be good from then on.

So does that mean there is a faulty sensor?
