Whats this bomb light?

Yesterday I was on my way to the mall during lunch, took the highway there, and when I was coming off my display showed some weird symbol that looked like a bomb.

It had an exclamation mark in the middle of a circle with dashes around the circle (as if it were a light-bulb ON picture) but it had a square top.

What does this symbol mean? It comes on everytime I start and turn off the car. I can take a picture if my description above makes no sense.

Thanks!

Its in the back. I have not idea how to envision your description but if it is showing up on your display then check the manual first.

Ok, I checked the manual found here:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29803

The symbol I'm getting is not listed.

It looks more like this: (excuse my mspaint skillz)




Any other ideas?

I don't know what it means, but I'm guessing there's a interior bulb that's going or gone...

Another observation: that symbol is also seen in the instrument panel lighting part of the manual...

And, I suppose someone has got to say, "Bring it to the dealer and have them look at it" at some point in time
