A mate has a 2012 F10 520d. Get got into it this evening and was greeted by this;

The car won’t start either.

Anyone know what it may be? Looking like a recovery job.

I had something very similar in my Saab and turned out to be an ECU job.

Possibly battery, getting crappy fault codes, stability control, hanbrake failure etc, myself and random fail to start, done a batt test and it failed

Cheers folks. I’ll get him to check it. Would be nice if it turned out to be something simple!

I would have said battery as well. I don't know a thing about the newer BM's, but they are unusual messages to have together, and not ones that should stop it from starting.

My old e60 had some random battery problem that cured itself, but whenever it wouldn't start it always gave random warnings.

Did you ever find out what was wrong with it?

Ideally it will need the fault codes read as it will throw the traction control error up for numerous things some of which include , bad ECU, wheel speed or abs sensor, oxygen sensors or an abs pump. Seems if something upsets the car in anyway it kills the traction control
