Thursday Night Horror Story

[bimmer330]

Morning Gents.
Yep, Horror story indeed for me. After having some runs on Thursday night, I parked off at a Shell garage to get some smokes.
Got back into the car and when I drove off, my traction control , skid warning, ABS and cooling lights came on. I also noticed my temperature sign came on. All at once.
I parked the car and got it towed home.
The next morning, I started the car up and it idles fine but as soon as I touched the gas pedal, the warning lights came on randomly.
I used my jb to check codes and it gave me a 2DEB code.
I then took a multimeter and checked the voltage on the battery while the car idles and got a reading of 16.4V.

Any ideas before I book the car in?

Thanks.

With that voltage, your voltage regulator seems shot. In turn it probably damaged your battery as well.

I have had this on my E46, E53 and E63

Hi.
Just an update for when someone get the same problem in the future.

Yes, My Alternator's regulator was shot.
It's fine now.

Just a warning. If this happens to anyone, all electronics shuts down, even your warpump......
