Yellow Light?

steve09 · 10-12-2009, 04:41 PM

Hi,just took the car out for 10 minutes,and after 5 minutes or saw a yellow light came on in the right corner of the dash with a (!) mark in it....

When i got back home and turned the car off,i then restarted it, and it had gone ?

I have had the car on charge over night as the battery was flat,just thought i would say incase this is something to do with it.....

I presume the lights are the same as those in a normal M3? I'm sure the Handbook tells you them all anyway doesn't it? Could be worth a look?

You not got a manual, it will tell you in that. If its gone out probably just a temporary glitch, but best get ecu interorgated

Which one? The bottom right??

if it's the bottom right one then it's SMG/gearbox/clutch related.
If the it's the red one next to it then it's your tyre pressure monitoring (that can light up red or yellow depending on situation)

The yellow cog,the far right one.
