Half light orange / half orange engine light.

I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden this engine light that is half light orange and half darker orange came up. I'll tag a picture below that looks similar to the one that came up on my car. Only difference is that the left side was light orange.

As soon as the light came on, the car seemed to slightly stop itself as if I quickly tapped and let go of the breaks. I stopped to check if the light would show up again, but nothing was there. The car seems to run fine. Any ideas?

Car: 2008 335i sedan

You'll likely need a scanner to figure out the exact cause, but to get some cursory info, were you accelerating or holding a constant speed? Also did any messages or additional icons pop up?

I was slightly accelerating and no other lights came on.

Just now I started hearing this "tik tik tik" noise that goes and comes.
It goes away when I gas it tho.

Something is definitely broken
