Sometimes its just a dodgy brake pad sensor or a bit of damp in the wiring - I have had sporadic odd error messages pop up over the years with my E53 when the brakes were absolutely fine.  Have you tried reading codes with a code reader to see if there are any errors?

Sorry this should have been in the e70 section, my bad.

Ah, thats a bit different with the electronic actuation then.  Maybe repost there or a mod might happen on this thread and move it.  What model year and type E70 do you have?
