Hi chaps, as the title says, got this weird warning light, went yellow then red, no change in feel of the car. Looks like something to do with suspension, can't seem to find it in the manual or online.

Any clues?

My active steering sensor has to be replaced I know that much as I got a warning for it and apparently BMW said the sensor is usually the culprit, i read up that it could be related to that.

Bloody hope so haha.... Sounds expensive otherwise.

Could also be a charging system issue.

If you battery is weak or your alternator isn't regulating the voltage correctly these systems can shut down which then triggers an error light.
