Does anyone know what this means?

Looked through the whole manual and didn't find any reference to this warning light. Does anyone know what this is?

I believe it's an indicator light. Check your turn signal or brake lights for a bad bulb

i think it means you're in park and you havent driven any miles since the last time you reset your MPG / disconnected your battery.

You have a bulb out. Or if you've installed LED bulb it pops up

It means bulb outtage. Use BC to go to check control. It may give you the code for which bulb is out. You may need to do this if you check all the bulbs and cannot fault them because... the second set of brake lights that come on under hard braking cannot be tested with your foot on the brake. So if it was those.. you would not know without the code. Sometimes even if the bulbs appear fine all around... they may be intermittently faulty or about to fail. Always worth checking them and seeing which ones are black if any.

Just hold in the slider button on the turn signal stalk until the CC-ID fault code comes up. Then google the code number, or if you have the Bentley service manual, look it up. It is a bulb fault somewhere.

Bad bulb. It means you were a bad owner and didn't change all your bulbs every 2 weeks to prevent one of them being out a nanosecond of driving time.

That worked. It returnd a CC ID 380. Looking it up on the link provided it translate to: FRM 380 Turn Signal Lights Defective- Left

@supergoat: LMAO. Reminds of Chris Rock's "No Sex in the Champagne Room"

It means one of your many light bulbs are out lol. Do you have idrive? The control message will tell you where it narrows down to.

No, I have an 08 e92, one or two years prior to iDrive...

With all of the codes, I'm surprised its not even more granular and tells you if its the fron or back. I checked the functionality of the left signals, both front and back and both appear to be operating as intended. Perhaps it could be corrosion at the bulb base

This happened to me once and I could not figure out what bulb it was. Turns out there are 2 bulbs in the brake lights and only one had blown.
