You get those lights if you dont post for 2 months.

I had similar for a failed steering angle sensor from memory but don't have a documented photo history of every warning light ever so might be wrong...

Get a GT1 on it and all will be revealed.

Yep seen that before with these lights, BMW wanted to replace the steering angle sensor, but we just reset it and it has been fine since.

I was thinking about bonnet problem too, is there a specific switch to check mate?

DSC Pressure sensor (one of the two on the brake master cylinder).

Basically measures brake pressure - most likely the one closer to the firewall that's failed (the bitch one to take out).

If you plug it in the GT1 one sensor will show pressure whilst the other show 0psi

I had the same problem before 4 months. Same lights on the dash.
Gt1 didn't recognize any fault. Just reset them and everything is ok since then!

Thanks Tom, it'll more than likely be a warranty job if anything gets replaced so should save me the hassle.

How did you reset it Manos, using the GT1 I assume?
