Mate, I had exactly the same last week. 1st time cars been out this year, MOT and service required.
Dash lit up like Blackpool illuminations on the way to BMW. Pulling in to the car park it rev?d by itself for a second. I kept it running to show my sons mate, he took it in and did a full check over and it was a wheel speed sensor. |

Had to switch mine off. It was not dropping and bouncing off the limiter
Felt like I should be sitting in a supermarket car park at 23:00 with the Max Power brigade |

Happened to me. Your wheel speed sensor should fix it!

Has it logged anything in the DME?

No Mike just N/S front sensor.
Cheers guys I'll pull the finger out and get the new one on and hopefully that's the end of it. Gutted really as was going to take it for a run down to Donington this weekend past but ran out of time to replace it so the old faithful S8 had to step in. |

Does there come a point at which preventative replacement of wheel speed sensors is viable?
What?s the cost (parts/labour) involved? As far as I know mine not hasn?t had any such issues?92k miles |

Labour wise I couldn't tell you as I do all that sort of stuff myself. I've done 25k miles with this car and this is the 2nd wheel speed sensor to fail. Last one was a rear. |
