Problems with the warning light and possible brake fluid level on the 2015 BMW Z4

Hi, I have some experience with cars and had a similar problem with my 2013 BMW Z3. At the garage they told me there was a leak in the brake system. The repair cost around 405 euros. Could you perhaps tell us more about your car, such as mileage and when you last had it serviced? This could help us to better understand your problem.

Thanks for the quick reply. My Z4 now has 47535 km on the clock and the last inspection was about 6 months ago. Since then I have driven around 5000 km. Could the leak have been caused by normal wear and tear? I would be grateful for any help!

Hey, you're welcome! So with your mileage and the last inspection 6 months ago, it sounds like normal wear and tear to me. This can certainly happen with a BMW Z4. It's important that you have it checked in a workshop soon. If there is a leak, the braking performance will suffer and that can be really dangerous. In my case, the repair did cost something, but safety always comes first. So it's best to make an appointment with your garage as soon as possible. It could also be that you simply need to top up the brake fluid. But that should be decided by a professional. Stay safe!

Thanks for the advice! You are absolutely right - safety first. I'll make an appointment with the garage tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing serious and I just need to top up the brake fluid. Thanks again for your help! Stay safe too!

Hi and what was the fault with your Z4, that the brake fluid level was too low? I had the same error message once before after an inspection. I was also worried about my safety and went back to the garage. Fortunately, it turned out that the mechanic had forgotten to reconnect the level sensor correctly.
