on me 2.5 the breaklight warning light keeps comin on on the overhead check computer but the break lights are fine and when i tap the breaks it goes off. Not a problem really, just a bit annoying and wondered if anyone knows why?

this comes on when you first start the engine,tap the brakes and it goes off!
or is it coming on whilst driving?

This is part of the brake test system (I thought the same as you when I got my first E30). If it stays on after you touch the brake pedal, then you have problems (such as a bulb out etc). If it goes out, all's good :)
