ABS light is on because the 4x4 light is on.

Is it in 4 wheel drive ?

That would almost surely indicate a need for either replacing a gasket, or–possibly–re-torqueing some bolts, but without knowing _exactly_ where the engine’s oil leak is located, nobody could possibly give you a definitive answer.

In any event, unless you are a skilled diagnostician/mechanic, you need to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. I strongly suggest looking for an independent foreign car specialist in your area, as repairs at BMW dealerships are quite pricey.
