I hit fuel cut once in 2nd as the second turbo came on going up a hill on a cold day. I let off as soon as lights started coming on and I didn't feel the "jolt" you hear about, but maybe I let off in time.

 

Didn't let off, couldn't let the bmw past :p

It only flashed briefly so sounds as if it could be a brake fluid thing, if the weather is good at the weekend I'll get my partner to change the brake fluid ;) then take it out for a blast.

Check that when you turn the ignition key to the second position but BEFORE you crank that all the warning lights come on just in case you are getting a secondary warning light but the bulb is blown.

 

IIRC it's not the MIL that illuminates when you have low brake fluid, anyway. It's the master warning triangle and the brake warning light. MIL usually indicates a problem with the engine, transmission or ECU but that should store a fault code.
