Suggest you go to some of the BMW forum sites for more detailed responses. This could be speed sensors located at the wheel hub area or an ABS module. The wires run up near and along where the brake pad sensor wires are located. Sensors aren't too hard to change and aren't too costly, the module, on the other hand is expensive.

SOURCE: speedo and abs light on bmw 5 series

hello , it sounds like you have a bad speed sensor or all 4 of them , see when the speedo plays dead like that is because (most cases ) the sensors at the wheels are bad due to water and normal driving corrosion , the data for the speedo comes from the abs module that monitors the sensors if the abs does not reed it the speedo will not reed it aswell , it will be good to scan the vehicle to see if you need more than 1 sensor there is one in each tire axel ,good luck

SOURCE: 1997 bmw 540 abs light on

any number of failures can cause the light to come on, the most common is the individual wheel speed sensors, u can have the dealer test the system and get a trouble code out of it that will lead them in the right direction to the faulty circuit or sensor.
As long as the light is on the system is disabled.

Warning light brake light and abs light comes on BMW x5

Could be low brake fluid, or mismatched tires, or broken ABS sensor. Did you do any work on brakes or wheels lately? If so probably the ABS sensor.

I replace the brake pads front and rear on my BMW x3 2005, but the warning light on the dash still on, how can i get this taken care

Depending on what warning is on... if it's stating brake sensor then one has come loose or cable got pinched when re-installing. If it's ABS light that needs to be reset w/reset tool.

BMW 2001 X5 has intermittent ABS light illuminating. I have changed brakes and brake sensors. The service people are unable to tell me what the problem is via diagnostic computer. What should I be...

BMW MODELS AFFECTED: All with ABS

FAULT: ABS warning light comes on intermittently. Normal troubleshooting procedures find no defect.

Possible Cause: If car has recently had two new tires, or snow tires put on. Sometimes when the car is driven over 50 MPH.

Solution: Check all four tires on the car, make sure they are the same brand, style, and size. Check if
any of the new tires have substantially more tread than the rest. These differences may cause enough
variance in rolling diameters to confuse the ABS control unit, which in turn, gives a false signal to the ABS
warning light.

If that is not the issue, it is most likely the ABS control module failing.

Dcs and abs light staying on

car is sensing a problem with the stability control system (DSC) or the antilock brake system (ABS). usually an ABS problem will turn off the DSC, so DSC may be ok, just ABS needs a look at.

since its an '08 model, it should still be covered by the BMW warranty provided you live in the USA. take it in and have them fix it. not safe driving with both systems deactivated.
