Hey, thanks for your quick reply! It really seems like it could be the same problem. Everything has been fine with your car since then, right? And can you remember the cost you paid for the repair? Maybe something else came up during the check at the garage? In any case, I would be grateful for any information!

Hey, since the visit to the mechanic, my car is running like new again. The power supply was indeed the problem, but it was fixed. As for the costs, I had to fork out a total of €1000 because the control unit was broken and had to be replaced. It was quite a lot of money, but what can you do, you need the car. There have been no further problems since then.

Hey, thanks for the info, that really puts my mind at ease a bit. It does sound like an expensive repair, but I think it's the right decision to take the car in for repairs before it causes even bigger problems. At least now I know what to expect. Thanks again for your help and I hope my little 1 runs smoothly again after the repair. Bye!

Hello, I have carried out a diagnosis on a BMW 320i E46 built in 2002. We also found errors but could not delete them although I have the full version. Do you have any ideas?
Hello MichaelB, If you're unable to clear the error codes, it could be due to a persistent issue that's causing the codes to reappear. I would suggest checking the specific error codes and their descriptions to identify the problem areas. If the issue persists, it might be best to consult with a professional mechanic to avoid causing any further damage to your vehicle. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions or concerns?

Hey, I can totally understand your worries. I had a similar problem with my 2005 BMW 3 Series recently. It was a problem with the sensor system. The loss of power and traction were also added, just like with your 1 Series. The mechanic checked the speed sensor and the entire ABS system. That was something serious. You'd better take your car to the garage as soon as possible. Don't let anything more serious happen. Hope this helps you.
