Brakelight circuit message part II

[rcgils]

I have replaced my stoplight switch on my 94 530i,all three light bulbs and all three brakelight holders. All parts are genuine BMW parts except the bulbs. I am still getting that annoying message. Is there anything left to check?

Still the bulbs

The bulbs need to have the silver colored bases, not brass. Even this may not do it. The tolerances in the diagnostic system is so precise, that you may need BMW bulbs. Bavarian Automotive has them much cheaper than the stealership. Would be the cheapest and easiest thing to do first.
