I seem to have a common problem that so many folks already described here.
A week ago on Saturday I was driving out of town and suddenly heard the gong sound, the displayed flashed "Check break lights". That wasn't a big deal, the Canadian Tire sells 2 12V bulbs for a couple of bucks. After 30-40 min. of driving, I pushed the breaks a little to get off the highway ramp onto a smaller road. And I felt the vibrations from the break pedal, just like breaking in the snow kind of thing. After a few moments the ABS and ASC lights went on, and I now have this problem every once in a while. And the speedometer quits working as well during this.
I haven't checked my rear driver's side wheel sensor with a meter yet, planned to do it yesterday when putting the summer wheels on, but didn't have time.
Is it likely the wheel sensor or a ASC Unit? What's strange is that the problem occurred after the light bulb went dead, just a coincidence or a voltage change kicked in and screwed up my ASC Unit? Kind of scary to think about it, since the unit is pretty damn expensive.
Any thoughts, folks?

i had the same problem not too long ago, have the car checked out by bmw. My ABS and Traction light used to come on, and when it was off the "boing" sound came on, and the breaks started screeching.

I saw the thread where you mentioned about a $3000 repair on your car. But what exactly caused the ABS/ASC lights on yours? Was it a failed unit or just a sensor?
Mine is '97 and the unit is made by BOSCH as well, many folks say the units made in '99 are prone to failures. Hope it's just a sensor on mine.

What controller? Not the main ASC unit located under the hood with the big wire connector, I hope?
