I was thinking maybe the ABS sensors? But then why wouldn't it be there from the start.

I read your initial description and this clarification that it is not what I would call intermittent so any troubleshooting without knowing codes is a shot in the dark.
I can't add anything that hasn't already been said:
Best course of action is to read the codes. I would take it to a well recommended BMW indy shop to get it done sooner than later because of the safety systems that are now inactive. I wouldn't wait to get and learn how to use a diagnostic tool, especially not the BMW software package. I am all for common sense troubleshooting but in this case I would want the codes to provide an indication of where to start.
