Unfortunately, the BMW E90 (2004-2013) can actually be fitted with two separate ABS units which are both known to fail. When failure strikes, you’ll experience a number of warning lights (ABS, DSC and brake) and be left without assisted braking in an emergency. Depending on the specific ABS pump and module your BMW E90 has, you’ll also find certain fault codes when the unit is in need of a repair.
Which ABS pump and module does my BMW E90 have?
The pair of commonly-failing ABS units in question are the ATE MK60 and ATE MK61.
If you’re a BMW E90 owner, then you might have heard of the ATE MK61 ABS pump and module – it’s a frequent point of failure that’s commonly in need of repair. When defective, the MK61 will store 5DF0 and 5DF1 fault codes in addition to causing the aforementioned symptoms.
While the ATE MK60 ABS unit is more commonly associated with E46 models (1997-2006), it’s also fitted to lower-spec E90 models with 4-cylinder engines. When these pump and modules fail you’ll find codes stored for 5E20 and 5DF5, which you’ll be unable to clear until the BMW E90’s ABS unit has been repaired or replaced.
The easy way to tell which unit your E90 has, is to refer to your vehicle’s specific model and engine. BMW E90s of 316, 318 and 320 spec have a MK60 ABS unit, while 323 to 335 models have a MK61. In short, if your BMW E90 has a 4-cylinder engine, it’ll have a MK60 ABS pump and module, if it has a 6-cylinder engine, it’ll be fitted with a MK61.

What causes BMW E90 ABS unit failure?
The reason BMW E90s suffer ABS pump and module failure so frequently is because both the MK60 and MK61 units are particularly vulnerable to internal weaknesses.
The MK60 ABS unit, is known to fail after just a few years of normal operation due to internal component degradation. This is particularly frustrating for affected BMW E90 owners as their problems stem from the inclusion of poor-quality components, meaning they have to fork out for a repair of their ABS pump and module much earlier than expected.
The MK61 unit on the other hand, malfunctions as a result of a design flaw. This is why they are one of the most frequently failing ABS units, as all pump and modules that leave the factory contain the same internal weakness.
BMW E90 ABS pump and module - repair or replace?
Most affected E90 owners choose to replace their ABS unit to resolve their problems. However, as we’ve mentioned, this isn’t the most effective solution as brand-new replacements contain the same internal weaknesses that caused the initial fault.
As well as leaving you vulnerable to re-malfunction, replacement ABS units need to be recoded to your vehicle, cost thousands and come with very short-term warranty.
We think there’s a better way for BMW E90 owners to resolve ABS unit failure.
