SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS CONTROLLER FAILURE THAT LED TO DISABLING OF ABS SYSTEM, STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM AND SPEEDOMETER. MULTIPLE BMW OWNER RESOURCE WEB SITES (BIMMERFEST, ROADFLY, ETC.) HAVE THREADED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND REFLECT THE OWNERS' DISATISFACTION WITH BMW'S LACK OF RESPONSE. THEY COMPLAIN OF CONTROLLER UNIT FAILING, GETTING REPLACED, AND FAILING AGAIN. A NUMBER OF LOCAL MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED SEEING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SUGGESTED SEEKING OUT SOMEONE WHO WILL REBUILD THE CONTROLLER UNIT TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I RECEIVED A DISPLAYED MESSAGE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE REAR LAMP. WHEN CHECKING THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND WIRING, I NOTICED THE CONNECTOR ON THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS MELTED (PLASTIC) WHERE THE BROWN GROUND WIRE CONNECTED. THE MALE/FEMALE CONNECTOR PARTS GOT SO HOT THAT THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR WAS MELTED WHERE THE GROUND WIRE CONNECTS. THIS WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT IT IS LIKELY THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HEAT GENERATED TO MELT THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE GROUND WIRE TO BURN AND THE BRAKE/REAR LIGHTS TO FAIL. WITH A FAILURE OF THE REAR LIGHTS, AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. *JB
