It might be just low. Top it off with DOT4 brake fluid . Or you need brake fluid change (every 2 years).

Brake Fluid needs to be flushed every two years. BMW is pretty specific about doing this diligently every 2 years. If you are out of the service warranty, you can have it done at any brake place, then reset the maintenance log in the computer. There is a link on the forum of how to do this.
