The light has flashed on long enough for me to see that it says "brake failure". I will top off the fluid and be done with it. My M3W is a late 2016 with the standard dash. The small indicator above the start button is not obtrusive.

During my test cruise after bleeding the drum brake, I was getting the "parking brake" red light blinking, flashing, being quite annoying. Worried that I might have introduced a leak in the system, I stopped to look at fluid level in the reservoir. It was above the "MIN" marking, about where I'd left it. I may have done myself a slight mischief when putting the cap back on. I didn't pay any attention to holding it vertical until the threads engaged. My theory is that canting the float in this way caused it to ride lower and signal low level prematurely. Got a "torch" and a magnifying glass so that I could find the "MAX" mark, topped up with DOT 4, and kept the float stem vertical while putting the cap back in place.
