Do yours work pretty well? or do the go off to the red all the time?

they work pretty well, but the car is also newer as well.

i'm sure BMW fixed the problems that mine had by the time yours was built. The day I reset mine it was green for 5 starts then went to yellow and the next day it was in the red lights (goes back and forth between all the red lights. The oild service light did'nt turn back on untill I broke 100mph

read through the link i posted, it could be somethign with your battery being dead on your SI board (or something to that effect), anyway, it does say something about that. how's the bimmer running BTW??

Ya the Batterys are bad and I really don't care about the lights they do no good for me I actually have a Gauge cluster that has no SI lights I'm putting in when I get the car back

The BMW is still at the Mechanics waiting for me to find a parts car.
