Thanks for sharing your experience! My issues started about a week ago, usually popping up right after starting the car. The errors are pretty consistent and don't go away during the drive. I've got 61474 KM on the clock and just had my service done last month, so I was quite surprised when these warnings started appearing. Going to book it in at a workshop next week, but wanted to get some community insights first to avoid any unnecessary repairs. Your X3 experience sounds very similar to what I'm dealing with, really hoping it's just a loose connection in my case too!
Hey again! Thanks for those extra details about your X4. that does sound exactly like what I dealt with on my X3! Mine also showed the errors right from startup and stayed on, super annoying, right? The timing after your recent service is interesting though. Sometimes these issues can pop up after routine maintenance if someone accidentally knocked a connection loose while working on something else. When I had my problem, I first thought it might be something major because of all those scary warning lights, but it turned out to be such a simple fix. Since you're heading to the workshop next week, I'd definitely mention the possibility of loose connections around the emergency call module. In my case, the mechanic found that the wiring near the module had worked itself loose over time, causing all those error messages. Quick fix, as I mentioned before. Just a heads up though, make sure they properly check all the connections in that area. After my initial repair, I actually had the same issue come back a couple weeks later because they hadn't secured the cable properly the first time. Had to go back, but they fixed it for free that time, and it's been perfect ever since. Keep us posted on what they find! Always good to know if it's the same issue for future reference.
Really appreciate your detailed follow-up! That's super helpful to know about the potential connection to the recent service work. I'll definitely mention the emergency call module when I take it in, and I'll make sure they do a thorough check of all the connections. Thanks for the heads up about making sure they secure everything properly too, definitely don't want to deal with this twice! I feel much better knowing that you had a similar experience with a relatively simple fix. It's way less stressful going to the workshop when you have an idea of what might be wrong. I'll update the thread once I get it sorted out. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience, it's been really helpful!
Hey there! I've got some experience working on BMWs (low experience, mostly basic maintenance). Had a similar issue with my 2019 BMW X3 last year. Got those annoying error messages and warning lights all over the dashboard. Turned out to be a faulty cable connection to the emergency call module. Took it to my trusted workshop, they diagnosed and fixed it in about an hour. Cost me 95 Euro, mostly labor since they just had to reconnect and secure some loose wiring. Can you share more details about your X4? Like when did these issues start appearing? Do the errors show up right when you start the car or after driving for a while? This info would help determine if you're facing the same problem I had with my X3. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info.
