I'm getting this same message from the idrive from my 2007 E66;
right brake lamp
right two-stage brake lamp malfunction

Today I removed and inspected the bulbs and sockets today and couldn't find anything usual with corrosion. Even with the brake check I didn't see any bulbs out. I read someone on another forum say these bulbs only light up with the ABS system activated in slippery braking conditions??
I'm going to try the sandpaper, some grease and see what happens ! I will report the update.
