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?
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,
Josh

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.
Experience
I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
