Today while casually driving along at 35mph, my 545 warned me of a Braking/driving stability fault. I wasn't even using the brakes at the time. I gently applied the brakes and everything seemed fine, but I left the message on the screen until I got home to take a photo (since the dealers can't always reproduce the problem).

Anyone have this error yet?

You may have an anti-lock brake problem. Does you traction control work. One of the brake sensors may be malfunctioning.

Then again, if you turn off ignition and re-start, if the message is gone, you might want to dismiss it as another freakin' false alarm

But one can't be too careful about a message that might put you in danger, can they - drive carefully for a day or so and see....
