good luck trying to get anywhere because you are simply just wasting your time.

What did you end up doing about it, did you order the spring and do the fix?
I've read a few have turned the message off with BimmerLink and it's stayed off, I've heard some people did this and it turned back on, and some did the turn off but the main issue gets retained when scanned in the future
It seems extremely sketchy that this error shows up exactly when the car comes off of warranty, from the manufacturer who offers a cheap "oil change and issue inspection" service for cars that's only available AFTER the warranty expires and issues like this arise
Also this thread is proof that the repairs are extremely profitable considering how far people are willing to travel to do/get this fix done
There's been an entire website made because of the profitability of this, literally
www.securevehicleagainstrolling.com
This needs to be brought to BMWs attention without just saying "we're screwed and they don't care" that's not ok
This coming from a company that recently tried to charge a monthly subscription to turn seat warmers on
