It may be the brake force display bulbs ( the extra ones that come one only when ABS kicks in )

Did you physically check all the rear bulbs ?

There is a TSB to check those bulbs on E92 if you get this warning, but dont notice any lights not working

except that one, i checked everything physically.

Use this guide to get to system menu

To reset unlock (option 19 enter sum of last 5 digits of your VIN) and use option 21.

And check your license plate bulbs

with idrive if you hold both eject buttons (dvd and cd) and press the radio power button it will reboot the idrive. It is the idrive equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I've used it a few times when I've had problems with the idrive
