    01 740 IL, i talked to dealers and ppl on bimmerforums. They said if the EWS is triggered, it has to go to dealer. Only they can re-align the codes. I don't want to tow the car to dealer, get it fixed only to find out there are other issues since these cars are known to have electrical issues. I called Global BMW and service adviser kept on saying "bring it in, only my technicians can check it, $125 to just look at it. I can't do anything over the phone and it might need a new module". They were no help what so ever. I felt like they just wanted me in so they could make some easy $$$. I asked if i read the codes with basic OBDII reader can u atleast tell what those are? "No bring it in." I know 1 place i won't be taking the car lol.

    If a BMW tech on here has a BMW programing computer at home and can come with me, i'll compensate.
