bulldog D Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What are the three warning lights, what 3 series is it, petrol or diesel also why not take it down to a BMW specialist and let them give you a clear idea! It could save you a lot of hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg16 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 wheel sender possible culprit, broken abs ring, broken or corroded wire, water ingress. even a fuse or relay. theres a list of possibles. plugging it in may point to the right area.

mafya Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It may be that an abs sensor is dirty if not working, you are better off getting the fault codes read to see what the exact fault is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg16 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 yes I do, but I have just consulted my bmw specialist friend. he says before changing anything get the battery checked as a low voltage in the battery causes these symptoms, particularly the difficult starting. so it could be easy as putting a new battery in, even a drive belt maybe slack,or worse case scenario new or refurbed alternator. hope that helps.
