Glad to hear this resolved your issue.
If you don't mind me tagging onto this thread, I'm looking after a friend's 2005 X3 at the moment and his car has a similar issue.
Lights are off when car starts but they come on after about 2-3 minutes of driving.
I found this suggestion while searching online and wondered if anyone else had experienced the same scenario, i.e. worn tyres causing the ABS system to go haywire due to different rolling diameter and wheel rotational speed.
Warning light problem for BMW X3 - Telegraph

The car I'm looking at has two front tyres of a different brand to the rears and they're worn almost to limits, while the rears have plenty of tread - seems to fit the above scenario.
