Could have dodgy sensors. I had driven my E34 around for about a year before I got it checked out and it was sensors. I knew it wasn't my brakes since they had been replaced about a month before the messages appeared on my check control.

sure just dont use the brakes....Pop a front and a rear off and have a look to see how much material you have left,I am sure there will be some
