BMW: oil low light n breal lt circuit light...., breal, level sensor


Question
i just got my 525i at a dealership and i am already seeing oil low on my dash and brake lt circut too. i keep checking my oil and it is fine but the light keeps comming on. could it be bad wiring? i just cant figure out why the light keeps comming on for either one. can you help me?

Answer
Rhnda,
 It's probably the oil level sensor being faulty.  The 5-series has an unusual brake wiring system that is known to have problems.  I think if you wiggle the bulbs it will usually put the "brake circuit" light out... for a short while.  

 Good luck,
