Interestingly, we had some guests come for one of our cottages last Friday. There had been a bad accident enroute which gridlocked many of the roads and theiir 3 year oold 3 series BMW had a dickie fit in the traffic. It started off saying there was an automotatic transmission fault which then progressed to telling there was also a traction control problem followed by ABS malfunction and whole liteny of toher warnings and flasshing lights.
If you want to see a BMW christmas tree - you should see the dash when the x-Drive control unit fails!!!
