The ABS light has come on, how much to get it checked out. Could it just be the wheel sensors. How much do they cost???

Turn on and the light stays on. This is a 325i crome bumper.

could also be the conector inside the engine bay, mine did this a couple of weeks ago, i was scratching my head for a while and didnt realise what it was...... took it round to my machanic and he just clipped the connector back in and it cured my problem, might be worth checking buddy :wink:
