Bought a new car in 1999: 1999 BMW 528I at about 75,500 miles, the ABS module (Bosch 5.7) failed. *** brake does not respond for a few second then ABS light is on *** - contacted a few other 1999 and 2000 bwm E39 owners, they all had the same issue with the ABS module. - sent the car to a BMW dealer at sterling, va. The dealer confirmed the ABS module needs to be replaced at a cost of $1000+. - dealer confirmed that because of the defective ABS module, ABS brake does not work. - contacted BMW northern America customer service. No recall has been issued for this problem.
