Dash lights flash constantly & guages surge

I have a 2012, e89, 28i

My dash board lights all flash off and on constantly and the guages all surge. The car seems to run ok though.

Checked the battery. It is a non AGM (standard lead acid) battery that appears good. The alternator is generating 14.6-14.9 volts.

Has anyone experienced this? I have a video but cannot post it showing the issue. Imagine this photo with all lights and guages flickering/ flashing like a Christmas tree.

Thanks for any help.

Not that I think it’s causing the issue but you should have an AGM battery fitted..

Looks like a failure related to the DSC system..sufficiently serious to cause all the lights on..

It needs to be read with a decent diagnostic system..

Do not pass go..go direct to a decent Indy or a BMW dealer..
 
All these lights stayed on with the tyre pressure monitor inactive with ABS failure my car suffered recently..
I still have faulty tyre pressure monitor. Can live without it.

Need a code reader to scan.
