2001 BMW318 Ci Regulating system fail for ABS, CBC, ASC+T/DSC - foley022

Hi, this morning when I started my car , 3 new warning lights came on: brake warning light and the yellow lights for ABS & ASC+T/DSC

The manual says this means that the complete regulating system for ABS, CBC, ASC+T/DSC and ADB haS failed.

Is this going to be an expensive solution to fix the problem or is it something that I could possibly fix myself with the help of say a Haynes manual ? I have never carried out any repairs on this car before so would I need to get some software / connection cables to to first interrogate the engine's computer system using a laptop ?

Strangely, the energy control pointer which shows momentary fuel consumption also failed to work this morning.

I'm not a mechanic but I have done some maintenance on my motor bike in the past :-)

Regards, P Foley
