Yea that could be something bad or something minor for BMW, that's iDrive relatedut and costly to us $$$$, .

I do realize it is a pain in the A!@!, but thank God you have a BMW Warranty and should not cost you any money! It can now be their problem, did the give you a free loaner BMW car to drive, while your M5 is down?)

Keep us inform on how it goes!
Your USA BMW e60 friend,

R. Eddie Presley
Yes luckily it is under warranty and no money needed. Hopefully they can rectify the problem soon, but will keep u guys posted.

No loaner from BMW as this service is not supported here

That's usually the symptom of the upload being too large. Shrink it down...

As stated above, it could be a sensor- the steering angle sensor.
Got my car back today. As suggested by Edlee and Stealthblue, it is the sensor in the steering wheel that was faulty. BMW replaced it and the car is brand new again !

Had my Hamann front lip, boot spoiler and angel eyes installed also. Pics will be posted in the main page, wonder if 700700 will say it's my diecast model
