It's your brake switch. You have either a four wire switch or a three wire. The only way to tell is to look. Here's the DIY http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech...ake_Switch.htm. Break the old one off with a big set of pliers-- its a PITA to remove. The warning message states "Brake circuit failure" right?
Coolant message could be harness fallen off connector, or bad sensor. Take a look along the passenger side, at the bottom of the reservoir to ensure the connector / harness is plugged in. Sometimes they will work loose, and other times the clip part is broken and will let the thing work loose from vibration. Here's a picture of the location I copied from a site that was a banned link for some reason  image sharing
