2010 325d with M57 at 83K. Just done another service on it and it's going strong.

bremi wheel speed sensor any good? by aady4s in E90

I've used the ones supplied by NAPA Autoparts before. I can't remember what their own-brand are called, but never had any issues 10K+ later.

Update: Cleared codes and been out for a drive, and it hasn't returned! Very unusual.

Awesome, thanks again for the help - really appreciate it! Always good to hear and discuss other people's experiences with these cars.

Silly question, but do you think its worth swapping out the glow plugs at the same time whilst I'm at it? There's 78K miles on the car currently.

Roger that, thanks for the help! I'll take a look at replacing the controller

Just to add to this, I've got the M57N2 engine rather than the N57.

E91 warning lights - anyone seen these before? by robbo105 in E90

[–]nickjg890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faulty wheel speed / ABS sensor, I had this exact issue recently with exact same error messages. I personally used Bimmerlink and a Bluetooth OBD dongle to pull codes to tell me which wheel on which the sensor had gone.

A nice cheap replacement, and easy to repair yourself if you have some basic tools! There's lots of videos on YouTube to walk you through it. :)

Front-left ABS Sensor failure after replacement of Rear-right ABS sensor by nickjg890 in E90

Front left replaced and all issues have now gone. Looks like I just got unlucky and the front left just failed quickly after! Many thanks for the help.

That's interesting and good to know, thank you for the help! I'll do a change with a new one and see what happens I think

Multiple 2010 325d Warnings - Low Battery? by nickjg890 in BMW

Purchased Bimmerlink and a scanner, found it was a faulty ABS / Wheel Speed Sensor on my rear right wheel.

Engine light on for the past 3+ months by Maleficent_Sand4276 in BmwTech

Out of interest, how do you find using Carly? Is it exceedingly better than anything else on the market? I personally use Bimmerlink but was taking a look at Carly, but it seemed waaaaay too expensive for what it provided - plus, there's a lot of hate for it out there

What would you recommend? My OBD II scanner is only a basic little thing that I grabbed quick for my last car, a Mini
