120D Sport Warning Light

Hi all, last weekend I had a warning light that came on, it was an amber triangle with a circular arrow around it. I referred to the owners manual and it said that it was still driveable but needed to be looked at and that it was something to do with the braking system. Now, during the last MoT I was given an advisory to change the pads, which I did a couple of days ago and the sensors. The light remains on. Assuming that this was the problem, do I need to take it to a garage to be reset, or, when I spoke to a BMW specialist (not dealer) he said that it could be the servo. When he told me that BMW would suggest a new servo at a cost of around £1600 I nearly fainted, however he said replacement parts would be around £200.

Has anyone else come across this problem? If so can it be done by a fairly confident DIY mechanic?

Your help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

      Front windscreen washers

      Hi Dave. In my opinion the squirt is weak, it only reached about a third of the way up the windscreen. The hose has been completely changed from the pump to the first jet, tank and filters have been removed and fully cleaned. It works but weak when the car is not running, but as soon as i start the car the pump works for about 3 seconds before stopping then nothing. The rear is working fine, it's just the fronts.

      wheel fitment

      Morning Terry Welcome to the Forum Are they BMW OEM or After Market ? If they are after market then check load capacity (I have read of cracking) and off set to clear callipers, you say 20" x 5 ? Is that studs I hope not width ? or are you looking for a spacer saver spare? If so don't forget the Jack and wheel brace (I know a few who have 😂) If you aren't aware check www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts website put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box then check the wheels/tyres section you will get all wheel sizes including off set Hope this helps Dave

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      Great feedback Richard I am afraid all cars are becoming gimmicky the designers need to understand that because a Microchip has the capacity you don't need to use it !! As you say some good but an awful lot irrelevant being an old bloke even when I got the 4.6is X5 (2003) it had a reverse camera and sensors. Being my age and having spent many years turning and looking when reversing I had owned the car a fair while when reversing one day a passenger said "thats cool" you have a camera why don't you use it ? The current X5 has camera's and when parking/reversing I still turn to look where I am going 😅 Just stop using the bit's you don't need Most important though ENJOY your Beemer Dave
