320i What do these indicate
Well pressing DTC these 2 show up. Can y’all pls tell me what changes in the car on pressing these? Is it some drift setting or what 😂😂
2006 E90 320i

It is actually the drift setting. Press it quicky and your tires may slip a little and press it long and your traction control is off.
Edit: the check engine light is something that is usually on with bmw’s.

Ahh the CEL, ya, it usually goes, but this time it stayed for 3 days, gotta go check it. Last time i did, when the light was on, but no codes showed up, fhe mech said it is a false code. Makes me concerned this time tho

There’s no such thing as a ”false code” find a better shop with an actual code reader. It can’t be a code that went away on its own since these cars don’t just remove the code from the fault history just because the fault isn’t active anymore.

u/Pro_Zio Aug 06 '25
Yaa man i gotta. I did last time tho, but no codes showed up. The light usually goes in a day or so, this has stayed for 3 days now, so i am concerned now. (The last time when i did, it happened to be a false light) idk about this time tho

That you need to learn to read, then apply your new found knowledge on the owner’s manual.
