My z4 e89 is coming up with an error with the pedestrian protection system. Comes and goes.

Will be callong bmw in morning to book it in but anyone seen this before?
 
Perhaps if you remove the pedestrian off your bonnet, the fault might clear itself :rofl:

Sorry but I couldn't resist. I've not had this issue before, so hope its a simple fix.
 
Booked in for next week. For those that are confused apparently the pedestrian protection system pops the bonnet up to make it bouncy if you hit a pedestrian. I currently have a red warning up saying it isn't working so drive carefully, don't open the bonnet, and get it checked out at service centre. Should be under warranty although I really take exception being told I'll be charged if it turns out to not be a warranty claim particularly are fault is intermittent.......

That's not what was confusing me, it was the first reply!
 
Hmmmm interesting. The R35 GTR has a similar issue which was causing an error message saying it was to pop the bonnet but there was a probes with the system, turned out that even the littlest bump to the front of the car even by someone in a car park caused the fault and Nissan charged customers £11k to fix.

I do hope it's not caused due to a bump and bmw can find and fix the issue under warranty.
 
Well considering first the bonnet hasn't popped up which it would if it triggered from a bump, and second it'd intermittent I too am hoping it's a fault under warranty and not a bump. There is zero evidence of a bump nothing at all.
 
I have the same problem that has just popped on my screen intermittently. Did you get the problem resolved. I have a 2013 520d.
 
Hi guys ,how did you all get on getting the pedestrian safety system fixed,do you have any information or advice you can give about the whole experience. Thanks
 
I had this pop up when I removed the bonnet handle to get at the plastic trim housing the lower right speaker off.
Soon as handle was reattached and bonnet reclosed, warning went away.
 
Had this in my XKR....when you opened the bonnet there were 2 huge rams that threw the bonnet up and the pedetrian with it and with a bit of luck they didnt scratch the roof as they flew over it.
Cleared the code down and never saw it again
