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.

rcsummers wroteit's called planned obsolescence.Had no clue, I guess another reason why Modern BMWs don't make all that much sense to me.
Curious to the engineering logic behind the minimal stagger.
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.

haru69 wroteI'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.I honestly still think is about the tires

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

Perfection2310 wrotei already did and the problem was goneI'll suggest you get Hankook tires then see if it will work out perfect. It's definitely a tire defect/problem
im gonna wait for the new tires and hope everything is ok

i have an update
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.

haru69 wroteglad 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.i have an update
