Contact your dealer at once!

Something is wrong with your brakes.

PS. How can you have so many strange problems with your car?

Don't worry too much Pimp, lots of other E60's including myself had the same problem. The stability control module is acting up and software needs to be updated. Just bring it to the nearest dealer and hopefully they will fix it with ease. Depending on what dealer in Southern Cali that is. I brought mine to NC Bmw and they had the problem fixed in 24 hours. Another guy I knew brought his car to Assael Bmw and its still there and its been 2 1/2 weeks. Good luck
