As on all car's with ABS : a dodgy wheel sensor/cabling.
In rare cases it may be the ABS valveblock's multiplug on it's way off to freedom of moving round in the engine bay.

Fiddly - as most likely the problem only exists while driving [:(]
A visual inspection of cabling in each wheel arch may reveal the problem.
As the front wheel's cabling has to move according to steering - on top of suspension movements - start suspecting either side's front.
Find the cable connectors - then detach connectors and test ohm's readings out the sensors - should be in vicinity of 1000 ohms.
Try moving the sensor cable a bit (don't use violence !) while testing.

I have exactly the same problem on my new BX and had it on the old one also. It fixed itself whilst driving through flood water believe it or not![^]
Didn't have a problem after that.
I'm going to try cleaning the sensors and all aronund that area this week to see if this solves the problem. It tends to come on and off, so fingers crossed this action will solve it[;)]
