These are the codes that is showing. Hope u can advice me what it’s for and do you happens to know the estimated amount. Thank you, feel free to take my post down if I posted on the wrong forum.

What he could have done is to clear the codes from the ECU then you run the car for a few days or till the light comes back on then re read the codes to see which, if any, have returned. Where are you located please?

Tony.

Those wheel speed sensor codes look like historic. comes and goes. I'd have cleared those and gone for a long drive to get the battery fully charged etc and then read them again.

The steering angle. I'm not 100% sure the same applies to beemers but I think on a Merc you'd clear the code and turn the wheel all the way to the left then the right and repeat a few times. Make sure your tyres are at least near the correct pressure. Clear the code again if necessary and then go for that drive.

The above might not fix it. But it won't cost anything to try

Hi Tony, located at Hampshire IL. I have the ABS for longest time. It goes on and off, but lately when I pressed on the brake. It kind of feel like when you pressed hard on the brake and it vibrate or like roaring.
Thank u for the help

What you describe is the sensation you get when the ABS is operating. You will likely have a reluctor ring on one of the wheel that is broken, OR, one of the wheel speed sensors is catching on the hub. There is nothing magical about BMW ABS faults any good mechanic should be able to get to the bottom of it. Starting with the rear left and right front.
The biggest issue they may encounter is the bolt which secures the wheel speed sensors are prone to breaking off, needing drilling out etc.

U know that speed sensor had been replaced on my wheel a long ago. What you said make sense. Looks like it’s not going to cost me a ton of money. Thank you for your insights. Called up the local European car repair place, sounds like expensive place (sad), and have it schedule for them to check. Thanks for making me understand.

Hey Tony,
Thank you for the heads up. The car repair place got back to me and you are right. I have 3 faulty wheel sensor and might as weep fix the fourth one too. Steering wheel needs calibration. The control bushing too is warp which create that pulsating feeling when breaking. The car is basically an antique, smile, which is now asking for maintenance. Thank you for the information which help me a lot.
Take care
