I have a 1999 bmw 528i with intermittent abs controller issue, which activates at low rate of speed. I went to the dealership and they replaced the abs sensor. The next day it activated again. I returned to the dealership, they did a diagnostic and stated the abs repair kit is bad. I asked what is that and they stated it controls the abs system on my car and the part is $1000. I am a member of roadfly.Org, which is a network consisting of bmw owners sharing information about issues and tips. My concern is this is a safety issue and its a known problem with the bmw (e39). I would like the manufacturer to check the www.Roadfly.Org message board on the bmw e39 1997-2001.

Abs controller failure. Very high failure rate during this production period. Some reports of uncontrolled application of brakes at high speeds. Bmwna sales of the abs modulator and/or repair unit will reflect this claim.*ak
