Before you get carried away have a look underneath the rear it may be that a previous owner changed the suspension to coil springs (not un-common) then turned off the warning. If you are still on the air suspension then it will likely be one of the ride height sensors, they are often put back incorrectly and cause the warning.

Belt tensioner's are likewise often not installed correctly and will allow a squeal under load changing them wont break the bank just needs sockets and skinless knuckles !!

Ask how I know

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      Morning JC Borrowed my neighbours i-Carsoft last evening and it does a lot more than I thought but sadly not with the RDC. So that's not the one Normally you need to erase the old chassis number or last 7 digits then ignition off wait a few minutes ignition on and check it's cleared then enter your information From what I have read online guys using Foxwell have had some success but for me I would look for a Copy of ISTA with it's leads (mine came from ESYS years ago) one of our sons friends brought a copy 2 years ago from the Bay £110 I helped him get it up and running on his Win 10 Laptop, downloaded a Virtual Machine Win7 then loaded the program to that, the only faff was loading the drivers took 3 try's. It works really well and like mine allows full Dealer level access for Diagnostics and Programming Good Luck Dave

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      Thank you Greydog for your help! Yes, the Maxi unit reprogrammed the RDC but it does not correctly erase the old RDC coding data. That’s why it only work until I stopped the car. Now I know I need another tool to get the job done. 🙂 I will be waiting for your answer! Thanks!

      E90 Cigarette Lighter Fuse(s) Help

      Hello all, I have a 2007 328i and the front cigarette lighter socket and ashtray light are not working. The socket in the center console arm rest does work. One fuse I've seen listed on forums is a 20 amp in position #30. On my car marked as 12v accessory. This fuse is not blown. I've seen some posts say fuse #8 is also the 12v accessory socket but on my car that is a 5 amp marked as CD Changer. Is there another fuse for the front 12V socket that anyone is aware of?

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      I used another ODB reader, I am able to get additional information about the error code. It looks like the used RDC is not properly reprogrammed to work with my car. Do you know if the I-Carsoft 3 or Foxwell 510 is able to reprogram the RDC properly and resolves the errors? Or if the BMW INPA/ISTA the only tool that can fix it? Thanks!
