So what codes are you getting? What code reader are you using?
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I am using Bimmer Greks on my tablet, before the event starts there are no codes then BOOM! It goes into CRAZY mode the wipers turn on and everything starts throwing codes and turning on the all the warning lights .

Yep! I’m thinking the same, will be taking it to a BMW specialist to get this sorted once and for all.

I have not had the issue since recently swapped out the battery for the brand new one (shown below), however, I three issues still persist.
1. My A/C is nonfunctional, everything is throwing a fault in the system!
AC module was defective! same replaced now all is good.
2. The exterior lights (head, park and third) occasionally remain on.
3. The trunk does not unlock with the key fob anymore.
CAS module was defective had a replacement coded and installed now all is good again.
Seems like the initial battery failure did cause a lot of electrical damage.

Hi all! Seems like this diagnosis is correct! The indept scan shows that during the event the ABS module is not communicating at all, and according to the Technician, the reason for the intermittent behavior could be heat related. For now, I will try sticking some heat insulation on the cover of the module while I wait on a replacement.The Zed Shed wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 3:26 pm The wipers staying on is a good indicator here.
Abs modules fail, causing garbage signals to be poured into the canbus, hence modules cannot talk to each other. PT-can is not affected, hence no limp mode.

Update time! whilst waiting for a replacement I pulled the module (which is in like new condition!) off, gave the board and connector a good spray with CRC contact cleaner and I stuck some nice'n heavy heat insulation to the black cover before putting it all back together, it's been two days now with no unwanted driving experiences!

Finally was able to swap out this module, I now have no warning lights and the car behaves normally now! I think (HOPE and PRAY! ) that this is the final solution!
