WTH is this error mean??

So, my wife was driving Maggie and had the red lifted car error symbol come up on the tach. Had Maggie towed (props to MINI Roadside Assistance) to the dealership but, as it was after 5pm on Friday, they'll get to her on Monday. Besides the error indicator, the word "brake" is illuminated on the tach, neither the turn signals nor emergency flashers work and the windows will not roll down. Brake lights do come on in the rear, front lights do come on, no high-beams nor fog lights. Otherwise, car seems to drive fine both before and after the indicator came on (she had to pull off the highway to a safe location). I'd like to know if ya'll have any idea as to what has failed on my car and how many loans I'll need to get it fixed. Could this be related to the Auto-Sport/DCS mod I've got? Happy Holidays.

Cheers!!

Typically a whole slew of electrical errors like that come back to a failing battery. If not the battery, likely something electrical.
