May 19, 2013 - the brake failure warning is flashing. Pull in the clutch and firmly press the start button until the engine starts. Did the light go off?

with a LOT of elbow grease. Those things are pressed in and you probably should take it to a shop to get them removed. If you've done something like this, then you know how to use heat or penetrating oil to help.

I think you have a defective wheel bearing.

rear wheel drive vehicle ,most likely cause is a wheel bearing but ?? rear wheel drive so ask a local mechanic to have a drive and confirm but it could also be a diff bearing

When the raer wheels loose traction the ASC cuts in to cut the speed to the wheel that is spinning.

A Yellow warning light will appear on the dash when this is happening.

Check the wheel bearings

usually noise complaint can be pretty tricky to repair. especially if its intermittent. since you say it only when its cold my first guess would have to be a wheel bearing. some other things you can check is how the tires are wearing. when you rub your hand along the tread is it smooth or does the tread catch your hand. if your tires aren't wearing smooth noise complaints can be heard while slightly turning, braking, or even accelerating.also if its a wheel bearing you can lift the vehicle up in the rear (turn off your dsc) and run the rear tires up to speed. usually you can hear a loud wheel bearing. also you can drive the vehicle and swerve back and forth and see if the nosie changes. depending on which side of the vehicle suspension is being loaded

It might be a faulty power steering pump. Try checking the level of the power steering fluid. It is probably best you have your power steering system checked by a mechanic.

Does the noise occur only when the vehicle is moving?

Try moving the steering wheel from side to side, while stationary (but don't do it too often, or you might damage something). If the noise is still present when the car is stationary, then it probably is the power steering system.

If the noise only occurs while the vehicle is moving, it could be a problem with the differential/final drive, or even wheel bearings.

Thats what the mechanics also say "He owns a BMW..... Lets RIP him OFF'!!! dats y we bmw owners like to repair ourselves! who agrees wit me???
