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
Hey glad to hear that and the service was quick too.

Please post some pic, if only the rain would stop haven't seen the sun for so long.

I consider my car a die-cast model, 1:1 with working engines and everything that is. Is a toy after all right?

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?

I think, WilliamsF1_M5, this is the time for you to get a M6.
Tell us all about it~
