So it looks like a wheel speed sensor and not tires after all. There's probably youtube videos of how to troubleshoot those if you're looking for the DIY route.

I honestly still think is about the tires
Because when I mounted my old tires there was 0 issues
I will receive my new tires soon will update when I mount them up

Curious to the engineering logic behind the minimal stagger.
it's called planned obsolescence.

they produce a set of Star tires and the produce a set of wheels that make the rolling diameter acceptable for the transfer case for 3 years or 60,000 miles.

then the warranty runs out, the owner gets their own wheels and tires, and it kills off the transfer case, and BMW profits.

first thing i did was go square.

I'd look into the codes more, if it is indeed a wheel speed sensor then obviously things won't go well. And it could save you the cost of new tires if you end up deciding it's a sensor after all.

As for the timing, there were 4 wheels removed and replaced and so the work involved could have damaged a sensor. It's possible.

so the history is basically:
no issue with hankook tires
put on new continetal tires have issue
put back old hankook issue dissapear
put back again contiental to make sure its not a mounting problem issue appear again

Got it, didn't realize you'd swapped back to the old tires. Nevermind.

the dealer have put on a new pair of wheel with bmw star marked tires on my car
from a 4series coupe with totally wrong tire sizes and load
225 255 istead of my 245 255
with these tires i had 0 traction control issue
so now i think is just my car is too sensibile to non star marked tires
i have ordered * tires and waiting to put them on

I'm surprised, but it does seem like that's the case. Good work getting it figured out.

Well… the heart wants what the heart wants. Glad you figured it out.

glad you got it sorted. at the end of the day it comes down to actual circumference of the matching set of tyres. if within spec (apparently 1%), transfer case happy. if not, transfer case not happy.
