can anyone explain why the traction control is cutting in just as the car is moving off ie ( low speed no wheelspin) all wheel sensors have been replaced but still records a fault with both front sensors

did they just replace the sensors because the diag said so or did that also check the physical condition of the reluctor ring?

garage reckoned very unlikely that both wheels would have damaged pickups on the bearings

The sensors fitted are they genuine Bmw or alternative copies?I have had issues with an E39 abs system where the sensors had been replaced with non genuine items that caused all types of traction faults.Fitted an original part and fixed the fault.hth
