Its been a while since I have posted. I have a 2011 F25 3.0L with only 60kms no accidents. This winter my car started giving me all kinds of issues;
-Wipers Turn on and off when I start the engine
-Wipers keep going on even after I start driving, they stop probably after 20mins+ of driving
-Interior lights don't work
-Steering lights come on probably after 20mins of driving
-At times doors don't unlock I try everything, eventually after a few times it would unlock. Also when i park the car and get out, the alarm goes off.
I took it to a reputable shop which specializes in BMW and there was a like over 100 codes. So they reset everything for me and said lets wait and see. The guy said it is most likely the ICM Module, which would need to be replaced and re-programmed. Part is like $1700 CAD not including the labour costs.
Update from Dec 18, 2018 Finally decided to go the dealership to have this problem resolved. I paid for the diagnoses costs however at the end, we found the exact problem. The issue was with my JBE Control Unit which failed and caused these other electronic issues. It costed me approx. $1000 CAD with 2yr warranty. I am glad its just solved and I wasn't paying for trial and error. Hope this helps someone down the line!
