oh no.. what happened to my ex? 
Does the engine sputter or have rough idling? If yes. Best to tow. Once on MODIC, you'll know what's wrong. Most likely a sensor.
Oh hold on.. It's not the engine check light, right? Most likely it's the rear brake light (right side). That circuit is kinda old and tends to lose it's conductivity.
The OBC works but the display is slightly off. What you do is, press the OBC display and run your fingers along the display. You can make out what it says.... normally I always get "Check Brake Light"... If this is so, don't worry la. Can drive, what you do is just jiggle the right side brake bulb holder a bit. After re-starting the car, it should go away.

Bro, I think you are wrong to think that all problem are bug related.
It sad to have people like you who drive an UDM.
Honestly, its people like YOU who give UDM a bad name.
please sell your car and refrain from posting on this forum.

It is a well known problem with E36 to have bad contact for the brake and night driving light.
if you were to study the rear light casing, the contact on the bulb holder is spring load clip. They have a tendency to loose it shape due to the constant vibration.
A clear sign is oxidation or slightly scour or burnt mark. Just clean the contact by sanding it down with a sand paper and push the two clip up. It should solved your problem.
