That symbol means that service is due. Service could be just an oil change or it could be an oil service and inspection. Take your car to the dealer and have it serviced.

SOURCE: what does the warning light in my mini cooper mean?

With a jagged line underneath, it sounds like the low tire light. The icon looks like a "U" with a jagged bottom and a "!" in the middle.

When these lights come on together often times you need to replace a wheel speed sensor. check for the blue connectors under each fender well and make sure all of them are plugged in. 90% that I have seen are the front sensors that go bad, but you will not know unless codes are pulled by the dealer. If it is not the wheel speed sensors then it possibly could need a abs control module.

SOURCE: hi, i have a warning

either low tire pressure or brake warning. See pics below. If it's the brake warning, check your fluid level. If level is low, check for leaks at brakes, master cylinder, also clutch slave if you have manual trans. Let me know if you have questions.

SOURCE: On my mini cooper I have a warning light

it isnt anything to be to worried about. it just means your not maintaining your car as much as you should be so its polluting more then it should be. Keep in mind that when you get the letter from your state to check your cars emission to see if it passes your states minimum requirements it will most likely fail and you will need to do everything to make it pass.
Examples: go to your focal shop most likely a jiffy lube does it the cheapest and best, ask for the fuel-injector cleaning. Its pricey but it will definitely help
Use better gas for a few weeks to clean out the engine. Such as BP or Shell
Change the Oil with more frequency so your car doesn't have to reuse old oil to run every 3,000-5,000 miles
change the transmission oil as well. This is also pricey but it doesnt have to be done as often as you think. Every 50,000-60,000 miles

Mini cooper red elevated car warning light

That just means you're due for service. There's a counter in your on board computer that times out on things like brake fluid, coolant, inspection, air filter, spark plugs etc.. when one of those reaches zero, the car gives that signal to tell you to go in for service. Those must be reset with an external scanner. they can't be done by the driver.

My Mini Cooper 2011 air bag light flashes red when starting the engine and then turns itself off. What do I do?

Could be a bulb test ?
Your owners manual or the dealer should know for sure.
Usually if there is a problem the light stays on.

What does the second from right warning light on a Mini Cooper dashboard - (!) - mean?

That appears to be a low tire warning light. If all your tires are correctly inflated it can be canceled by depressing, and holding for about 5 sec., the button by the parking brake lever. It should clear next time you start your car.
