My Ride: '07 530iSport PackageLuxury Packagemore to come

Checked everything I could think of to check. The only thing I found is that I am due brake fluid bleed next month. Would that cause the warning so far away?
And yea, what's up with the annual brake bleed anyway? Doesn't brake fluid last as long as it used to last?

Brake fluid shouldn't trigger the check engine light, that should be under Service Due & then you have that hazard looking sign on your dash not the service engine soon. Just turn the car off then back on & if the light keeps coming then go & get it checked...its probably nothing, dont worry!

I am getting it checked out tomorrow. I was just hoping to be prepared for what I hear when they pull codes.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Any Autozone would read the codes for free. G/L at the dealer.
