ABS Control unit repair

[raymondre]

The ABS control unit on my e39 2000 540i M Sport has failed and my choices are to have a mechanic replace and recode ~$2000k , remove and replace myself ~$500 and have mechanic recode ~$100 or to have it repaired. Do you know of anyone who can repair this unit?

Hi,

Check and search in the E39 specific forum as this question is nothing to do wit car audio or associated electronics.

There's places that will attempt to recondition your existing module if they can. I had mine done by BBA Reman a couple years ago and they offer a lifetime warranty when fixed. If they or anyone else you find can't do it, then you'll need to look for a used unit off another car. If you get the same type, I do believe there's no need for any re-coding.

Cheers, Dennis!

I'd check with members of the local chapter of the BMWCCA. I'm sure a member can help you out.

Google "BMWCCA #####" where "#####" is your zip code.
