Chassis Light, Brake Light, Parking Light.
I have a 2013 BMW 650i Gran Coupe Xdrive. Recently I caught a flat on the freeway but I pulled over immediately. I have the original BMW M5 wheels on it, they've never gave me any issue and this will be 8 months that they're on.
A tow truck came and was pulling my car from the rear wheel, it wasn't a flat bed. Since then all the lights on the dashboard pops up. I brought my car to BMW and they're saying because of the staggered wheels that's why the lights are coming on and they can't honor the repair. Have anyone been through this before? Do I really needa repair done or is there something else that needs to be done? |

I reckon the tow guy has yanked off maybe an ABS sensor or some control module or something.

Well the ABS is all lit up. Traction control is lit up. You need to get a garage to get the car on a ramp and look for any damage or sensors/modules that may have been tore off. Oh and also well worth checking if you have the correct size tyre fitted now too, after your recent flat.

I can't see how you now suddenly have a transmission issue. Incidentally what are the actual tire sizes you are running currently and what were your stock tyre sizes please ?

I highly doubt it's a transmission issue, BMW is just experimenting like they usually do. |

The night I caught the flat a flatbed dropped me home from the freeway, the next morning the other tow truck did that. |

you cold check with one of those tire/rim calculators, that front circumference is def up, just a matter of how much and if the car can tolerate it. You said it did for months so probably ok. Normally up in rim diameter you go down in the profile of the tire. You went up in the diameter of the rim and up in the width so total diameter def changed
