Please refer to the owners manual for red light warning, it can be low oil pressure or hot engine or emissions system. If you don't have an owqners manual you can find used ones on eBay Motors.
It's your "check engine" light. It means a fault was triggered to the computer. Have someone with BMW scanner or dealer check and repair before it strands you somewhere.
hi, in my book it says, the (!_) with the exclamation mark in middle is..low tyre pressure, and the triangle on is the stability control and traction control..you should have a button on the centre consol to turn this on and off if it does not turn off you will have to take it to main dealer as there is a fault with it hope this helps
It could mean that you are low on anti freeze. Or if you do not have a temp gauge it could mean that the engine is getting hot.I would look in the owners manual if you have it and it should give you a much more detailed description of what it means.
The below is taken from another site written a year ago:
What you are looking at is the Service Indicator. The green, yellow and red lights let you know when service needs to be performed. The green lights mean everything is still good. The yellow lights mean "anytime you're ready." The red lights mean do the service ASAP. There are also two other lighted areas. One says "inspection," the other says "oil change" (or oil service.) An oil change is an oil change. However, there are two inspections: Inspection 1 is normally at every other 15,000 miles; Inspections 2 is at every 30,000 miles. Your local BMW dealer should have a pamphlet listing all duties performed for each of the services. Inspection 2 can run you around $400-$800 depending on the service station/dealership's labor rates. Inspections 1 should be around 1/2 of that. You should have your oil changed about every 5000 miles. Dealership oil changes can range from $35-$65. A BMW that is well taken care of will last a long time.
FYI, don't be surprised if the SI (service indicator) board decides to **** out one day. I'm surprised to see yours is still working (they usually die within 10 years unless someone went thru the expense to have it replaced.) If/when it does go, just gauge your services by the mileage intervals I've listed above. I'd also recommend when you stop into (or just call) the dealership, go to the parts department and order an owner's manual for your BMW. Should be less than $20 and get to you in about a week unless they have one in stock. When the service tech has performed the necessary service(s), he will reset your SI board so that only green lights are showing.
what the light looks like? if it looks like a little engine then thas the check engine light than tells you when a sensor is not working good and needs to be check with scan tool in an auto repair
but nothing to be worry car will be driveable but won't pass smog test until fix, if light does not loook like a little engine or motor then let me know how doe it look like
