Re: EEP2 error, speedo over read & ECU warning light
Pressure sensors are related to DSC as well as steering angle sensor error. And I think your C110 is resetting them, just they appear again. You definitely need to check brake fluid level, clean speed sensors for ABS and clean DSC connections. And check this thread, maybe will find some usefull idea...

Re: EEP2 error, speedo over read & ECU warning light
Did you checked your battery? "5DF4 System voltage <9 volts" makes me think, that your battery is low or dead. And low battery is not helping sensors to send right signals, so other errors might be consequences of low battery. Or might be something like this: http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/...

Re: EEP2 error, speedo over read & ECU warning light
USB works fine with both of my 1997 z3 (using 20pin>obd2 connector), so you don't have to worry about that, probably bimmerforums had some outdated info. USB ports can emulate COM protocols these days.
One my car (euro) has only 20 pin port, other (usa) has both - 20 pin and OBD2 port.

Spacers are evil. Try to avoid them if possible for your own safety and peace of mind. Just get the wheels with correct offsets.
R17x10J ET33 wheels for rear and R17x8J ET33 for front will give you perfect stance with stock suspension (check my black z3 from sig for pics)
