Couple CEL questions

[React]

I got my car back from BMW the other day from a oil change and when I started it up this morning it brought up Brake Fluid/Park Brake lights. I also had the ABS CEL on from a few days before. Could I just need to bleed my brakes and do a fluid change to solve this problem? Hopefully that's all it is, I don't want to be out money for a new brake system.

My brakes are working perfectly fine at the moment. There is plenty of brake fluid it seems, but maybe it's just very old. It's also winter if that has to do with anything.

I don't think bleeding your brake fluid will do anything for you in this case.

Brake fluid fault light would be low brake fluid.
Parking brake light with the e-brake disengaged may mean you have a bad switch.
ABS fault, who knows?

CEL is Check Engine Light. Has nothing to do with brakes.

Does your car have ASC? Sometimes the aux throttle cable can have issues and cause warning lights. Also, I believe that the only thing that turns the "Brake" light on is fluid level. (I can't remember if there is a seperate "Park Brake" light) It's not the lining light is it?

Yea the brake light itself is a icon like { }. It also throws a ABS , Brake Fluid , and a error that just says "Park Brake" as well. The fluid level seems fine. I wish I could take a picture, all I have is a webcam.

the warning lamp that looks like :{ }: gos on when the wear indicator on the brake pad touches the disc... so your pads are worn.....
