BMW is getting to be one of the worst with keeping secret repair diagnostics. On the newer cars even the techs at the dealerships don't have the code descriptions for some of the repairs. They plug in the diagnostic equipment and then have to communicate with higher headquarters to be told what to fix. For example, on my 2006 330i I would key a yellow steering wheel symbol with a key and lock symbol next to it. Turns out the electronic locking sensor was bad. Problem was this would prevent you from even being able to start the car. The fix? Change out the steering column!
When the BMW went out of warranty and I started getting more electronic problems I sold the car.
