I think your break assist is defect and the ca system noticed this.It does not want you to drive without. Call a technician for this error. Not proper working breaks can cost you your life or from someone else.

SOURCE: brake and ABS warning lights on, trac off on.

You may have a bad abs controller. You need to get the code for the abs light from a shop or auto parts store.

SOURCE: 2004 A4 1.8T Brake Lights Remain On After Car Is Parked

Sounds like your brake light switch is on its way out. Its a simple fix and a cheap part. It will need to be done immediately as not only can the lights staying on drain your battery but it can also cause lack of power and not put the brake lights on when braking. The switch is operated by the pedal itself and requires the drivers underdash trim to be removed. With this off the switch can be accessed and replaced. If you can get a vehicle technician to fit it, do so, as they are quite fragile and new switches can become useless if fitted incorrectly. Good luck

BMW 320ci. Runs perfectly 1st start can run for 1000's miles no issues. 2nd start car takes longer to start,delayed throttle response,lacks power climbing hills prone to cutting out as revs drop.

sounds like crank sensor or cam shaft sensor. Internal resistance due to heat, hence why you can start and run car in morning, ie cold. When the heat build errors start. Get codes read first but I would suspect these 2 sensors. Yo can also get fault new parts, so you might be one the right track.

Wont start after running for a while. service lights work, radio, headlights but wont crank. just replaced starter, got new battery about a month ago. after 5-8 hours car starts with no problems.

Hot does make a difference. You say it won't start, but does it crank and not start, or not even crank? If cranks but will not start, any electrical part may fail as it heats, and when you shut it off the engine gets much hotter since coolant is no longer circulating. Thus, a marginal crank or cam sensor, or coil/ignition module may work while cold of while engine is running, but fail when you first turn car off.
