Hi,

Today in my E85 2007 without any reason all these lights come on.

In my mini cooper the reason is one ABS sensor damaged, in a Z4 E85 its the same?

Please help me!

It could be a wheel speed sensor, it could be an issue with the DSC unit. You will need to read the codes to find out.
The light on the bottom left means you have a bulb out.
There have been lots of recent threads related to DSC/ABS issues. Worth digging them up and having a read.
 
I had the same lights come a couple of weekends ago after some spirited driving down some very wet lanes. Carly diagnosed front right speed sensor, so bought a new one for £35. Haven't fitted yet as the lights have not come back after resetting with Carly. I've seen a few post recently on the same issue, and can only presume the wet weather can play havoc with these sensors.
 
In my experience only :
Steering Angle Sensor Failure - Fault Code 5E40 - SAS replacement
AMBER BRAKE / TPS / DSC Lights
This proved much more difficult to actually diagnose.

I hope it is something simple
what part of country are you in?
 
Had the exact same lights come on a few weeks back (minus the lightbulb). They only came on once and haven't reappeared. I still wonder if it was a wet leaf on a sensor or something else but a couple of people suggested it's only a matter of time before they reappear. I attached a diagnostic machine to the car but it is a cheap one and didn't tell me anything because the warning lights weren't present at the time and it doesn't show historic faults I think.

The below post may provide some insight for your issue as I got some useful information from others...

Hi bro, yes I scanned the car and its the Steering Angle Sensor, that sensor is expensive ?

I just replaced the lower control arms, the bushings and other parts there too, my steering wheel is not aligned at all and I will leave the car this week to do the aligment service, do u think this is causing the problem ?

Yes, just needs recalibrating in something like INPA.
 
INPA is the diagnostic software used to check fault codes and carry out some servicing checks. The screen shots in my earlier post on forum , see link were from INPA. You may be able to recalibrate the steering angle sensor there is lots in this forum on sas faults. Where u located?
 
Sorry Bud, bit too far away to help out. Try to find someone who has a laptop and INPA or if your going to keep the car then buy a lead and load a laptop. Takes a bit of getting used to but it's a valuable tool. Good luck

But you dont think if do an aligment to the wheels and erase codes with the Scanner could fix it ?
 
Yes it probably will. INPA software allows you to calibrate steering. (And identify fault) read all the steering angle posts, some people say that fixed the problem just turning lock to lock. But suggest you get the codes read.
