If this light is on permanent yellow (warning), it usually means the TCS / ESP (traction control system / electronic stability programme) is switched off, IIRC.... one is a triangle with a sort of circle with arrow around it...
Maybe they are two discrete problems, one relating to the brake and the other the TCS / ESP?... problem is that this combination of two lights is not one of the examples in the manual! It's always those two and something else that has an explanation...
Try turning your traction control back on. The button should be below the radio , infront of the hand break.
While that light is on be careful driving in bad conditions like heavy rain ....
thanks all, Ill invstigate further
More than likely it's an ABS sensor that's gone. That wold explain both the brake and ASC as the traction control need the ABS sensors to function.
Obviously a rear ABS sensor.
Bring it to some place with a diagnostic machine. BMW charge a fortune for this privilege so try to find an independent place.
I know of a similiar case where a 116 had the same problem. It was also an 07 model with just 3200 km on it. The car was actually out of warranty by a few months but a goodwill gesture was given and the part replaced. The car was in for a diagnostic check initially which took about 2 hours.
The BMW dealer charged the owner €120. No courtesy car was offered and the part had to be ordered so it took about a month to sort the problem out.
This seems to be a very common BMW fault as the dealer had quite a few cars in at the same time with the same problem.
