Put a new battery in car has an issue with some modules

Has new battery new continental tires looks clean
Could be a simple fix no space to keep it
The car is worth a lot more if fixed

The car is super clean for its age paint no rust interior is extremely good condition for its age

This is only for people who have INPA or other BMW scan tools that can see what's the issue with the car. It does look clean, so it could be worth something to a BMW fan who has too much time on their hands.

One thing that comes to mind is that on an E39, the traction control module is located in the engine bay, which means it overheats over time. This can cause the DSC and ABS lights to come on.
