Warning Light and Bmw Dealer

andy c · 05-05-2011, 02:19 PM

Hi all, so about 400 miles ago i started getting a warning light come on my dash.

It only comes on when i intially start the engine, then goes off after 15 seconds.

After getting abit of time on my hands i called the dealer and spoke to them about this. Stated in the BMW handbook, this warning light indicates a problem with the stop start system, and should contact bmw immediatly.

After speaking to someone at bmw and describing the symbol over the phone, he was sure that this was a problem to do with the traction control. Even after i described the situation.

Has anyone else had this warning light, if so, what was the problem and solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like two errors the one in the main cluster is the brake fluid low warning, the other is not shown for a gas based US 335. Since youre in London is this a euro model or is this Diesel specific error IE Urea?

Two errors? i thought it was only the ''A'' in the arrow with the ''!'' beside it that was a error. It is a euro model.

auto start-stop error/malfunction?

^^ I don't think that car has auto start-stop because the gauges would be different..

OP.. How is your brake fluid level?

yea it does have stop start, this is what i thought was the problem, as refered to the handbook.

any ideas on what could be the problem?
