Probably wheel speed sensor.Mine was like this and it was a wheel speed sensor[ABS].;)

But when i drove home today, when i try to brake in 3rd gear, it automatically rev to the max without clutch engaged, it happened the first time, then all the lights come on, and when i drove home, it happened twice.

Thanks guys, you sure is not a SMG problem?

What you felt sounds like the SMG recalibrating itself - it's probably got confused because of the wheel speed sensor fault... You can get the same effect if you change tyres sizes and don't do the SMG recalibration manually (the >30mph, neutral, pull both paddles thing), the car picks its moment and does it for you.

I try searching but no result, is it a simple plug and play with the speed sensor? Please advice.

Thanks

ThanksDont know if its a simple job,you need to get it plugged in to make sure its that.Mine was fixed under warranty,i think the part was about £80 from BMW.;)
