Safe (and easy/cheap) would be the more im****tant issues, at 
least for short-term trouble-shooting. Is this something I can do
myself, or will I need to take it to my mechanic? I'm inclined
to believe that at least one of the two used controller/computers
that I tried was good, so could there still be ABS problems causing 
this?  Could it be the ABS sensors or the hydraulics?
When I deliberately engage the ABS (jamming on the brakes on
a wet/dusty road), it seems to work normally.

And is this a common problem on E30s? I've searched with
Google, and didn't find any mention of this type of problem.

Thanks,
