My 135i did something weird today...

Okay, here's what happened. I was running around today when all of the sudden my yellow brake light came on the display along with the little triangle sign with the circle around it came on. my brakes were acting normal so I didn't think too much of it. the other weird part was every time I would use my turning signal they wouldn't reset by themselves after I would make a turn.

so I then pulled over and I shut the car off and then I restarted it. both lights were still on for about 30 seconds and then they turned off. after that happened, my turning signals were acting normal again. this was very weird.

now I'm wondering if I should take the car to the dealer so they can see if there's anything wrong.

what do you guys think?

I would do a system check on the car. If it says "CHECK OK" then I'd just continue to drive it. If the problems come up again, then I'd schedule an appointment.

Might need a software update. When was the car built?

I have had weird radio issues, like it would cutoff ...and then on again.. then off.. then on and stay on. I'll mention it when I take it in for the Alarm software that is finally supposed to be solved soon.

I took mine in for a brake light over 2 weeks ago and they think it has a problem in a wiring harness somewhere but haven't found it yet...
