problem #1

Mar 212005

528 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 73,050 miles
Safety system failure - ABS and anti-skid control module. This apparently is a chronic failure for BMW 5 series cars from the 1997 to 2002 model years that occurs at approximately 70,000 miles. The ABS and asc lights both light and within a short time after the speedometer and odometer stop working. No anti-lock brakes and non-working skid control, plus not knowing your speed is unsafe and costs over $1000 to fix.
