[QUOTE="hunter, post: 710578, member: 25250"] My response as follows: Since your post, are you still having the AS warnings, or is it totally gone? Totally disappear How would a diesel E60 have different AS components that "normally last longer than its petrol cousin"? I have no idea. I just quoted what mechanic said to me. How does the AS failure or warnings relate with battery, or with changing to original BMW battery? No idea. Was told something about problem with the car software which unable to determine signal properly from the AS sensor. Any problem with the AS sensor including insufficient watt or electrical surge will be interpreted as AS problem. Did the 'authorised dealer' do anything to your car prior to suggesting you to drive to Malacca and back? They performed physical diagnostic for few days instead of relying on the computer diagnostic. What is the reason for them to suggest the long distance drive, and how is it related AS? Seems my battery is not properly charged. Also, is there anything specific they asked you to do, e.g. maintain certain speed? No specific procedure. Just cruise. How long did you leave your car and how much did they charge you? Hundred plus.. I was told that they never change AS for any e60 sold by local bmw since they found out about the real AS issue. They only change AS on few E60 that were bought from grey market but that is very rare. [/QUOTE]
