I had similar experience with battery and steering angle sensor. I just put a new one in and did some work this weekend which required disconnecting the battery several times. When I did a quick test with DIS I found 5 fault codes in the steering angle sensor. They were all caused by the battery being repeatedly disconnected. Once I recalibrated and cleared the errors, they did not return.

BTW,for anyone who needs to replace the steering angle sensor, it can be done without removing the steering column. The BMW manual states the steering column must be removed to replace the sensor, but this is not necessary, and saves about $1100 in dealer labor charges.
