Brakes Vibrate Backing Out 700

1990 740 GL Sedan:

Mostly this happens when I back out of my driveway in the morning, but it has also happened doing some light braking around town going forward: The brakes go a little soft, vibrate, and make a high pitched sound, like they aregiving out, yet they hold tight. Feels like the ABS brakes to me, but why they are activating when they shouldn't I have no idea. It is kind of scary because it feels like I am going to loose my brakes. Also, my ABS light comes on occasionally but doesn't stay lit upon the next starting.

Does anybody know what this is? Where do I start?
Thanks,
Dan Sam
