Process of elimination for this one unfortunately. Start with the speed sensor which is the rear right - if that isolates your issue. Look into the steering angle sensor (why I asked if the error comes on when you turn a certain way) then go from there. It does look similar to my hub problem but generally when you get an error on these areas it usually triggers other errors even though only one of them may be the cause.
You might want to get your mechanic to run his check on the codes as well as it might narrow down what the true fault is.

Check out this thread - I think this one was aimed at the Steering angle sensor needed to be replace

had a look at the post did some reading i believe it turnt on when i was turning RIGHT slightly tho wasn't a complete turn just following the road.
But the car is lowered and the rear looks like it is sagging to far where the wheels are goin under the rear bar already. It will be going to mechanic on monday so ill have him take a look at the code and if its the sensor ill have him replace it. As i don't know too much about touching vehicles hands on.

When i do drive tho turning the wheel left or right my steering wheel squeaks when turning it. So i do feel like it might be steering wheel issue and also it seems WAY more heavier then it should be but i've checked fluids for power steering and its good.

Thank you for replying and helping me out as well. Really appreciate this guys.

Hopefully it's nothing too bad - A speed sensor is like 130 bucks to replace and the steering angle sensor is cheaper I think - Most of the cost with a lot of these replacements is actually in the labor. It's worth giving it a go if you can before you jump straight to the mechanic.

yeah ill look at some youtube videos and see how hard it is, my mates can do it at there place if anything if i buy the part. A case of beer should do the trick lol but ill have a look at youtube first and see how i go.

Check you owners manual
Error is because you are over inflanting the tires
The recommended pressure is 33 - 35 psi

Also here is some info from Peter Y (another forum member) on tuning options for the N52 engine

The N52 is the last ever straight 6 naturally aspirated BMW engine before the turbo age.

There isn't much you can do to get gains out of the N52, short on installing a supercharger or turbo ($7K - $10K) in which case it would be cheaper to sell the car and buy a 335i

In terms of tunes
JB4 and MHD is not available for the N52 engine
There is one tune (AA tune from Active Autowerks in the US)
It only delivers and extra 10 Kw but improves power delivery and reduces throttle lag

Getting rid of the primary and secondary cats will help the car breath better but once again wont increase power significantly and will make your car unroadworthy. Take it to an exhaust shop and get them to replace your cats with straight pipes if you want to do this

If you plan on modding the car, wont get much from engine mods/tunes but you can improve suspension and handling, with new coilover etc

Hope this helps

30-35psi? The tires are really low profile and the tire itself recommends 50psi, I'll try drop then to 35psi and see how I go.
Tbh I'm not looking for any performance in the car otherwise I would ba e gotten a 335i as you said.

I was looking at blistine adjustable with H&R springs.

Atm last owner has non adjustable blistine with king springs. Ride feels terrible goin over bumps etc lol. Rear looks like it sagging too much hopefully the springs are cut. It was installed 4months ago.

That would be the max air pressure rating, wow dont ever run 50 psi in your tyres.

King springs are normally pretty shit

Running 34-38 psi will improve the ride a lot!

+1 to what DrJ said

A decent set of coilovers would be a better option then shocks and springs

Dont have to worry about if the shocks and springs are designed to work together and provides greater flexibility in being able to adjust the ride height and suspension parameters.

I was a shocks and springs guy before getting my Kw coilovers, now I would not go back

What's the ride quality like? I assume you got soft springs socket?
I have had cheap coils in the past on other cars and it was back breaking and kind of put me off coils.

Thank you socket and DjR

ill be putting pressure down this weekend to about 36 once i take the car out.

Just recently got a few parts in hopefully to install this weekend.

- CSL CF TRUNK
- CF Side mirrors
- LUX v7 LEDS.

Hoping to also try and clean the ABS sensors while installing the LUX LEDS.

I was running lowering springs (H&R sports with Koni yellows) Jard
Ride was ok except it would bottom out on big dips and bumps

I am running KW3 now, they are a good mid quality coilover that perform well without spending crazy amounts of money

Sadly i couldn't get my parts installed but hopefully they will be on by this Wednesday.

Also does anyone know if the Lux V7 fit on the e90 2005?

im pretty sure mine are factory xeon?
