MasterPump failure will for sure bring on an ABS light. With the engine off, key off, press the brake pedal 20 times turn the engine on you should hear the brake ABS pump run if not the pump has actually failed or there is a problem wiring issue, fuse ect.... I am not experienced enough i=with the BMWs' to say I have seen pump failures as a common BMW problem.

times out of ten, a pump won't fix this, it's usually the
controller. a well qualified BMW shop can test to see which is which because the symtoms are identical.Flag This -
