Hoping someone can help!
My wife's 2004 e46 318ti has got these lights on & they both came on at the same time!
I know one is handbrake & other is DSC but thought these were two separate things, seems weird they both came on together!
Any ideas? :'(

Yellow warning of Dynamic Brake Control system fault. It applies emergency assist to your braking effort if you jump on the brakes. I think it's now called Emergency Brake Assist, or similar. Does the same thing.
Try a 'battery reset' - remove from 20 mins and reconnect. If it comes back then you'll need a fault code check done. It might be a sensor, or vacuum hose to the servo, or whatever drives the extra effort on the brake system - which might be in the ABS modulator.. Pad wear normally brings up a different and red warning.
Amber means it is driveable but the DSC/DBC won't be fully operating.
