Sometiimes the brake light stays on and rear brake light sticks! Also, the dash is super slow to turn on lately. Could this be a CAN bus thing?
Anyone else has seen this? Thanks!
 
Could be a CAN bus issue ooor even a weak battery causing low voltage w/c can mess with the system. Checking the batt and connections might be the 1st step to getting things back in working order.
 
Sometimes a temporary glitch can possibly be a CAN bus issue. If it happens frequently then maybe you can get a BMW tech to take a look at it since they know the systems well.

Keep an eye on it and as advised above, check the batteries and switches first.

You might simply need an electrical contact cleaner TBH. Just DC the batt first then use CRC QD cleaner, then let it dry before reconnecting. Not too much just ample.
