1989 635 CSI,
After many weeks of sitting, I charged the battery and fired her up. All seems fine except the "Brake", "Parking Brake and Battery" dashboard lights are on. For short drives all is fine. Is this something obvious or is meticulous detail required?

Usually it indicates a weak battery.
I would test the juice of the battery to make sure it's fully charged.

Either that, or the alternator is starting to fail.
