Check Brake Light Warning
I keep getting that "check brake light" warning so I loosen the bulbs and re-tighten and lights work fine. Couple days later, same happens again. I've changed the bulbs &, cleaned every contact with a pencil eraser yet it still comes and goes. Any better idea before I take it to the shop?

It is a light warning, not a brake warning.
The sockets deteriorate over time. There are fixes that involve replacing or modifying the sockets. Do a search here.

It's a well-documented issue with the taillights design.
Search for the Mercedes (yes, a Mercedes part on your bimmer ) bulb socket mod.

I just had those exact symptoms and installed the MB pig tails on both sides of my vehicle and no problems since. its not that bad.
I believe about $20/pig tail in the US, but a fair bit more in Canada, but still worth having a reliable tail light, and cheaper than buying new tail light housings!! read these few threads http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...t-fix-diy.html
