[QUOTE="norse, post: 7885794, member: 988"] Are the tyres different sizes i.e wider tyres on the rear, If so you have to fit 'star marked tyres' on as they are manufactured to more accurate tolerances so that the rolling radius matches otherwise the abs keeps kicking in trying to sort out what it thinks is a loss of grip,We have an x3 3.0 diesel,wider tyres on the rear, when we bought is we kept getting the abs/4x4 and traction control lights in the dash that could be cleared by resetting but would soon re appear,it turned out to be a broken spring in the transfer box,we got a transfer box from a 2.0 x3 that turned out to have a slightly different casing so I took both apart and swapped all the innards, that cured the lights on the dash bus when driven the car sounded as though a hammer was hitting the floorpan and after a lot of googling it turned out to be the tyres that were not star marked,most tyre shops and many main dealers don't know about this.
