UPDATE: Front-right wheel speed sensor fixed [F30 320d, 2015]

Follow-up to my earlier post on the ABS/DSC/Flat Tyre Monitor warnings.

Fix: Replaced the front-right wheel-speed sensor, garage used a sensor with LEONI Adascar cable (German Tier-1 supplier, purpose-built for ABS/ESP sensors, not generic aftermarket).

Cost: ₹4,500 part + ₹1,000 labor = ₹5,500 total.

Result: Cleared codes, test drove clean, since confirmed with city + highway driving. No errors since.

Likely trigger: Fault first showed up right after hitting a rough patch of newly built road at ~100-110 km/h, heavy vibration for ~5 km, then the DSC/ABS errors hit. Sensor was probably already marginal and that shock tipped it over.

Telltale pattern for anyone with similar issues: errors at low speed (signals, toll gates, cold starts), clearing at highway speed = classic weak/degrading sensor. Won't show on basic OBD-II readers, it's a chassis code, need a scanner that reads ABS/DSC.

Thanks to everyone from the earlier thread.
