Hi All
I have a 2008 E70 3.0d SE and im currently getting various warnings about bulbs being out but they're not actually out and work fine.
Currently the ones that wont go away are "Two stage brake light left faulty" and "Two stage brake light right faulty"

also intermittently i will get "front right fog light faulty" and "Dipped beam left failure" (It has Xenons)
The dipped beam will turn on, then flash twice and stay on for as long as im using the car. As said earlier all the lights work perfectly and i've checked the rear lights for water ingress and they are dry.
I am at a loss, can anyone tell me where to start?
Thanks in advance!

The battery was replaced around 2 weeks ago...

All the lights are standard. It has the HUD too but that has never worked whilst i have had the car.

Current warnings on the dash are
"two stage brake light left faulty"
"two stage brake light right faulty"
"front right foglight failure"

when i turn on the dipped beams, the front left light will flash twice then stay on and "dipped beam left failure" will appear on the idrive.
Ive swapped the bulbs round and the fault did not follow the bulb. Ive replaced all the bulbs with new and this hasn't resolved anything.
There is no water ingress in the rear lights either.
