I just had both of my rear wheel bearings replaced at a local shop, not a BMW dealer. Now the ABS, BRAKE, and one more warning light are on. I can't use cruise control. I believe that a sensor was damaged or not hooked back up properly? Does anyone have any ideas for an easy fix for this? Is there any way to bypass/turn off this warning so I can use cruise control? Thank you for any suggestions.

I don't believe there's any "quick fix" for a wheel speed sensor fault. If it came about as a result of a repair, I would think the shop is on the hook fixing for it, either by repairing the sensor or connection they damaged.

One thing I am pretty sure of is that if there's an ABS issue, cruise control is offline. You'll need to get it fixed before cruise comes back.

The wheel speed sensor harness is known to become brittle over time and when any work is performed near it, it often breaks the insulation/wiring or it shorts itself.

As mentioned, cruise control will not be active until the sensors are replaced.
