check light...

This may be a repost, but I am a new owner of an e30 convertible and
everytime I start the car, the CHECK light flashes and it points to the
brake lights. I checked all the bulbs, cleaned all the terminals and
replaced the bulbs with nickel plated rather than copper. Is there a fix to
this?
Any advice would be great.

Thanks

This is not a fault - It's meant to work like that!

Just dab the brake pedal and the warning clears.

As an aside, some E30 owners like to see how far they can drive before they
have to touch the brakes and clear the warning. I cannot condone such
behaviour, but I've done 30 miles without braking before ;-)
