Just brought BMW 316ti noticed a yellow light coming on in centre of dash do I need to worry

Of course you need to worry until you find out what the light means . IT could be a light warning you of a possible serious fault in the engine/ transmission ( engine fault light from no water ,brakes etc ) have it checked out before it can become costly.. Lights are not there as Christmas decorations but to save you money.

I have a 1999 BMW 323I five speed, but when ever I shift to 3rd gear the asc light comes on and the car will not pick up speed

ASC light is part of the ABS system. ASC means slip control system.When this light comes on because it is integrated with the DME or for a better term ECM (control module) It commands trottle reduction. The ASC uses the wheel speed sensor your only fix is get the ABS or (brake inspection) look at The computure engine management thinks you are slipping.

What does the dash light with atriangle mean and the abs one

the triangle is a severe caution and the abs has to do with your anti lock braking system. what this means is not that your brakes will not work but the system that prevents the brakes from locking when applied heavy is deactivated. so basically you will be brakeing like a car with no abs. this should be looked at soon just for safety reasons if you are depending on the abs but does not mean you can not not drive the car safely just with added caution. this should also be addressed by someone who KNOWS bmws and KNOWS abs systems. this could work out to be a very simple fix. cheers

DSC light comes on when I run the A/C

It is not your A/C the problem, try this:
1- Apply the brake.
2-Open ignition to on position II engine off.
3-make sure to set A/C to low temp with A/C button off.
4-Start the car while keeping foot on the brake.
5-push A/C button on and make sure that a/c compressor comes on and wait around 10-12 second.
6-Let foot of the brake and wait ,check if DSC light comes on if not pump the brake several time with A/C compressor on if light comes on, if it dose mean your MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE SENSORS NEED CHANGING.
This was the solution for my car,I had exact the same problem.

ABS light appeared on dash for a few seconds before going out. What does ABS light mena?

ABS stands for Anti-Lock Braking system. The system could be triggered if you are on wet pavement or sliding and the brakes cannot properly control the vehicle deceleration. The vehicle could also have a fault in the ABS system due to a wheel sensor that is corroded or damaged. This type of problem is best left to an expert as the ABS system can be very expensive to repair.

Dcs and abs light staying on

car is sensing a problem with the stability control system (DSC) or the antilock brake system (ABS). usually an ABS problem will turn off the DSC, so DSC may be ok, just ABS needs a look at.

since its an '08 model, it should still be covered by the BMW warranty provided you live in the USA. take it in and have them fix it. not safe driving with both systems deactivated.
