Exclamation Lots of Lights and Drive Moderately

I have a 2013 535i xdrive with 145,000miles. After driving for a bit and after coming to a complete stop, when I accelerate the Chassis Stabilization - Drive Moderately warning comes on for a few seconds and then goes to Brake System Warning - Drive Moderately with ABS, Parking, and Brake lit up. The center display has Parking Brake Limited showing. The car drives fine but will be only drive in Comfort Mode. Before all the warnings come on, I can shift into Sport and turn off and drive fine with or without Traction Control, once the warning comes on, I'm back to Comfort. If I turn the car off and sit for a bit, the car resets and I can drive with all systems good until I come to a complete stop. What am I dealing with?

How old is your battery and state of battery charge? Do you have means (tools) to check the battery.

Could be anything. You need to fully check codes with a BMW specific tool. There will be a lot of them! Clear them to get rid of the historic ones, and see what comes back. That'll be the cause of your problem!

I had the same thing happen. All the lights and parking brake lit up all the time. It would all stay on for weeks, then go away for weeks. Finally when i was at the dealer for something else, they looked at it and it was nothing more then the master cylinder fill cap. Because it has the fluid level sensor built into it, and it broke, it was telling the car i had no brake fluid. Cap cost 21 bucks, no labor charged.

This sounds like a wheel speed sensor situation.

I vote a wheel speed sensor or also TPMS sensor. You really should get a code reader.

A Nice Foxwell should supplement your diagnosing abilities and/or ISTA Software!
