I am not positive, what year car are we talking about. It may be your brake lining light?

yep thats the brake error light. it means that the pads are warn(very warn) or more accuratly the sensor is on the fritz pull your wheels off and check your pads and discs

I have a similar issue... although mine specifically says "Brake Lining". I've been told that my linings are fine, but the board that drives the light is bad (and having them replacing it will be in the neighborhood of $300). The light goes off intermittantly, but I was wondering myself a) will the S.I. Board that Bavauto sells work as a raplacement (the board is $124), and b) how difficult might it be to do the repair, or c) snip the wire to the light and forget about it.

its what i would do and every 12 or 6 months when you get an inspection ask how long they will last and replace when necessary.

There are 2 brake warning lights aside from the ABS and the Parking brake light. Which one are we talking about? The brake lining light frequently gets worn from rubbing on the strut housing and causes the light to light. If this is the case, just splice the wires back together if the brake pads are OK. The other light indicates a low fluid level in the master reservoir.

my break lining light is always on because the guy before me but non BMW pads without the sensors in there.

The brake lining light should not come on unless the sensor is worn to the point of needing pads or the wire is frayed and rubbing on the strut etc. Simply driving hard such as we do in a driving school should not energize the light. It is strictly a mechanical connection, no electronic sensor. It lights when the connection is broken such as when the wire breaks or the pad contact wears through.
