What is the Exclamation mark inside the triangle icon?
as the title states, what is the exclamation mark inside of the triangle? it doesn't come on when I turn on the car but it comes on after a bit of driving...I don't feel or see anything wrong so I'm not sure why it keeps popping up...I've read the manual but it doesn't state anything about that particular icon?

Are you driving around with the traction control turned off?

there is a little door just above where the passenger sits... not the door that the passenger uses to get into the car, there is a button on the door, press the button the door will open, there is a high chance you will find a book in there. Book of secrets one might call it. Read the said book, it might tell you what you are seeing

The exclamation mark inside the triangle icon means the flux capacitor is fluxing.

To the OP, I believe that was the low tire pressure symbol, but my memory isn't perfect... |

Wait, is this the triangle symbol you're talking about? If so, that's a general warning symbol. If you have iDrive you need to go to the vehicle status menu to check what exactly is wrong. |

As for phistyle's post, you'd be surprised how many silly posts there are on other symbols on this forum. Someone should just scan those pages, and make a sticky. Usually the post starts with "I was driving to work and *** popped up. What does this mean?" From what I learnt, it means BMW could save cash by stop printing and issuing manuals for that undersized glovebox, and supply a direct web access to E90post.com It seems most people don't understand their purpose. My wife is one of those people. I got a "there is a funny symbol on the dash" I can't remember what she said it looked like, but I did a WTF? It's symbol that looks like a tire and it's RED. Red usually means bad. Red+tire means flat.... |

Ah I'm not sure how to check it without iDrive, but as another poster mentioned I think you can click the button on the end of the turn signal stalk to cycle through to the check control menu on your dash.

That symbol means "Triangle, by golly!"
Ok, sorry, I couldn't resist. that is just the car's "alert signal." You'll get that triangle with a ! inside for all sorts of notifications - gas running low, tire pressure monitor needs to be reset, tires too low, etc.

on the turn signal shaft (left side of steering column) there is a scroll tab similar to a light switch you'd see in your house. Click this up and you will see many status checks and system diagnostics you can review (oil level, tire pressure, etc.). Once you see one you would like to review, press the tab on the end of that shaft to run the test and hopefully you will Id the solution. And feel free to have a laugh at the repetitive usage of "shaft". |
