pre 9.98 and after
pre 9.98 has only hydraulics in engine compartment while after 9.98 has all electronics and hydraulics there.
when pre 9.98 systems control units will not fail at all, after 9.98 control units FILL FAIL WHEN DRIVING WITH ABS LIGHT ON.
when your system will stop working and you have car produced after 9.98 it is essential to remove main connector from abs/dsc unit to protect it. then you can safely drive to car diagnostic and diagnose your problem.

asc or dsc control units have to be coded when changing engine type (petrol-diesel)
dsc control units need to have steering angle sensor and acceleration sensors adjusted

btw. left rear abs sensor will transmit speed signal to speedo

e46 abs will not fail from broken(shorted)abs sensor.
they have other common problems but its another story already
