The illuminated COG on the dashboard is the Transmission Fault Warning Light. The sound you're hearing is probably the transmission locked in "get home" mode or "limp" mode. If you're going to attempt to repair yourself you'll need to start with a quality BMW specific scan tool to see what the system says is causing the fault, then trouble shoot from there. I've used a Schwaben Elite scanner on several of my bimmers with great success.

hey solo, 06-07 door lock actuators can blow a fuse in the glove box. bmw does have a specific bulletin that addresses this issue and requires replacing the fuse if blown and measure the resistance of all the door lock actuators to determine which is bad. the doors should be able to be opened with the key mechanically. if not for some reason, you should be able to comfort open the windows and will have to crawl inside the car. the fuse panel is inside the glove box and not fun to get to. I believe the fuse is a 10 or 15 amp fuse maybe 5th from the bottem right.

I suggest you to check fuse # 57 15Amp at juction box, you can access it from glove box. if the fuse is blown, replace it with 20A and try to operates lock/unlock 10X and replce door lock fails to responce during the operation. dont operate lock/unlock 15X the system will stop and you have to wait for few min to function it again.

check make sure park brake is not on slightly, otherwise if ok check brake fluid, and top up as required, if low have brakes checked
SOURCE: What does the big red
If this model has the runflat tyres, it could mean that the system has detected a punture or low tyre pressure. Check the pressure of all the tyres, and reset the system when the fault is rectified. The reset procedure is in the owners manual. Hope this helps.
SOURCE: I have a warning light
it has detected a malfunction and it is trying to save your motor from damage. that is why it wont rev or gain power, it doesnt want you to. kinda like you just broke your leg and someone said get up and walk, yet your brain says no its gonna hurt or fail causing further damage. Could be a oil pressure,cam sensor,knock sensor, temp sensor. need to get a diagnostic check on that car, I dont think its a major issue if your car is running and you hear nothing out of the ordinary, I'm not saying to drive it either, It needs to be checked now to protect the motor and your pocket book.
