Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE
Gave the car to my mate who gratefully took it for his young family. he took it to his local garage and turns out the camshaft timing sensor was clogged up and misreading. I had changed the inlet and outlet cam sensors but not the camshaft sensor. an engine flush and clean, new oil and spark plugs, a good service and it’s off like a scalded cat! Cost wise it was about £300 to sort. happy days! -

4x4 abs ebv dsc failure
Morning Steven Plenty to go at there 🤣 I see that most of the fault codes are K-can based, if your not aware the Bus system is how all the Control modules talk to each other, so first port of call is sort the K-can bus fault. That should allow you to clear most of the faults then we can see what is left How handy are you ? Getting handier I guess 😅 So it may be simpler than you think and not as scary, in the boot right hand side you will need to take out the battery cover and storage box (5 screws). Take out the cover for the rear Fuse Board (unclips) and remove the small storage tray under it (2 push clips) Now you will have access to the main loom across the back of the car. BMW in their wisdom decided to make solder free cable joints by twisting and compressing joints then putting a clear rubber/plastic seal over them. Moisture gets in and the joints corrode and fail that is the cause of your problem, now the fix. Tools you will need are, Soldering Iron and solder (my preference) or a method of jointing the cables plus some shrink wrap/tape to seal the joints You need to dig into the main loom the runs below the fuse board where it begins to rise and across the back of the car The Pictures show what your looking for any black in the clear plastic is corrosion, when I found mine and moved the joints for the K-can bus they literally fell apart. Look at the picture (Cable splices) you can see the 2 smaller splices on the left (Orange/Green trace and Green) that's the Can Bus. I took off the clear plastic (it fell off) stripped the cables back twisted the cables together and soldered the joint. Work one joint at a time so nothing gets mixed up, once the Can Bus is fixed you should be able to clear most faults. When I found this lot on my E70 I remade all the joints one at a time just for my own peace of mind all of them are in the big loom below the fuse board and across the rear of the car towards the battery. Not a scary as it seems, when done and tested tidy up the loom with some tape and put everything back together Now rescan clear faults and see what is left Good Luck Dave Dave
