Hi GUY as always a fantastic video thanks again for all your hard work helping me and thousands more have peace of mind looking after are cars .I would just like to wish you all the very best for the new year ..steve 💯👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing this. I just started having the same issues recently in my 2008 M5. Same fault messages. First time they came up during some wheelspin, but then started to happen totally randomly. Goes away after shutting the car off. Figured it had to be a wheel speed/abs sensor, so I'm glad to see you and others in the comments had the same issue with a solution. I'll have to test the sensors and see, but the issue is very intermittent and not reproducible.
I have just had this again! My car has been sitting for the last 2 Months on a battery tender in my garage! Somebody asked me a question about some readings as they have the high RPM at idle issue! So was having a bit of a play with ISTA connected up I ran the car up to temp and then decided to do a Vanos bleed as it was a little noisy ( I was just bored) completed that and was just playing around with ISTA in general after about 40 mins of idling/bleeding pro car is nice and hot. Up pops the usual DSC suspects! I looked at my wheel speed sensors live data, front right (FR) is reading forward @ 320 KM/H 😮 all others reading no value at 0.00 KM/H. Interestingly the faults latch as FL,RL,RR wheel speed sensors implausibility rather than FR implausibility. I wonder if I’d have actually been driving if it would have chucked up all 4 sensors as implausible! Properly 4 time in 5 years of ownership I have seen this! And always after car has been sat. First time car has been hot though I think. I’m not overly concerned at this point as the E60 can be finicky at the best of times. But having read the other comments on here it looks like maybe wheel sensor issues are common as they age. Mine is also early 05 car!
Agree with the other comments. I also had a similar issue and it was a single wheel speed sensor on its way out. The error codes were inconsistent until the wheel speed sensor completely failed and the DSC could tell me that it was rear-left. You could try to test the wheel speed sensors more thoroughly by using INPA which will be able to tell you the wheel speed that each sensor is reporting instead of just the direction. Good luck!
Sorry I missed your part 1. I had this issue, for about more than 1 year. Finally fixed it just a few weeks ago. I have replaced my battery, the guy that bought my battery was so happy with it. I have changed my IBS, so many stuff. Eventually a few weeks ago when I drove in traffic it eventually became not intermittent. I got the codes going pretty much every drive after it came up on that bad traffic day. The culprit is a wheel speed / abs sensor on the front. Replaced both sides and it’s finally fixed!!! This cause us lots of grief as it would not appear immediately, usually after a drive but when I immediately turn on/start the car… computer panics. Including trunk not opening, I can’t unplug the battery. The SMG pump will keep on priming, door mirrors opening, even bogus overheat, car will not even stop/turn off. In fact this might have been the culprit when the car locked itself after the BMW M event when we displayed the car where we almost lost our M5. Make sure to buy the revised sensor, the old one as per my electrician said seems to be short. Hope this fixes your issue, I got mine shipped only $500 NZD for 2. Local dealer here will charge you $500 for 1 and it takes weeks to get shipped. Get both from FCP Euro.
My money is on an occasional, intermittent fault with one wheel speed sensor, rather than the dsc module. Maybe the module is getting confused by the intermittent nature of the fault and giving you inconsistent feedback. (Although when I had a similar issue twice in the past the codes did indicate which was the faulty sensor)

Thanks for a great channel.
