The ABS/wheel speed sensor is the cheapest fix.

Part number is 34527841957

Hope this helps

Nice one thanks for that I will most probably just get the pump repaired and take it from there to be honest as two indys have said that it's mostly likely the pump an not the sensor of the problem is intermittent.

I would say sensor as a pump would not go on and off like that. Just my opinion though.
My local Indy won't change the sensor as he's adamant it's not the sensor. The other Indy wants me to come to him get a diagnostics done from him then decide where to go... Obv he's going to charge my £65 for the pleasure...

Surely an intermittent fault would indicate a faulty sensor?
And if your ABS/Traction control still works then that means the ABS pump is still working...?

If you haven't already looked on M5board then have a look at https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=5df0+site:m5boar... Sounds like the pump to me.

Haven't had the error come up until today again, used my fault reader last time reset the lights somehow. Can't remember what steps I used last time but when I reset it then drove off the lights came off. Can't seem to reset them now.

Hi Guys, update on this issue, had my ABS pump removed and sent off to ECUtesting to get repaired. All has been fixed and rebuilt with the brushes replaced and components replaced with a lifetime warranty and is on its way back to be for £195. Bargain compared to Stealers and Indy!

We were striggling to find where the abs pump is in the E60 M5, after abut of reasearch we found it to be under the rear of the wheel arch of the front left tyre.

Quick question once the pump is back in and the breakfluid is topped up etc. Is there anything I need to do to get the abs unit fully working ie get the fluid going all around correctly?

Yes, there are several procedures in DIS, ISTA, or INPA for the DSC. Pressure sensor zero calibrations, valve positions, steering angle sensor calibration, etc. It's not guaranteed those will need to be reperformed if the electronics were the same as your original, but I've seen it required for much less intrusive jobs.

There is however a running in portion of the test that is also used when bleeding the brakes. Do you have DIS or ISTA? It should recommend the test procedure for you.

The software etc is thae same so I won't have to have anything reprogrammed. What is DIS and ISTA?

BMW Diagnostic software. You can find it various places and use a USB OBD cable to your computer. It really adds a lot of peace of mind being able to self-diagnose and repair on your own.

Unfortunately, you will probably have enough air in the lines after removal/reinstallation that bleed the brakes via the time honored pressure or vacuum bleeder method will not fully restore the pedal firmness.

Do you or anyone else know what running in process is?

I'm assuming you mean the bleeding process? You will need the software to bleed through the ABS module as you need to open valves in sequence to bleed it properly. Do a google search and there is YouTube videos on a how to

That for the info, I can't seem to find a YouTube video on, any links? Also what brake fluid do you recommend for the M5?

Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RTOtHsZx74 and try Opie oils for the correct brake fluid.
