Hi,

So I finally got my hands on my new car on Friday. I've had it off my father-in-law and it's unbelievably nice to drive. Having never owned or driven a BMW before, I didn't know what to expect, but it's amazing. The car runs perfect, but after having a little look round and try all the buttons, I've noticed that next to the milometer I have a warning triangle, with an exclamation mark inside with a 3 digit number next to it. It cycles through various numbers. Can anyone shed any light on what these numbers mean?

Many thanks,

Taz

Have you tried using the toggle on the indicator stalk till the CHECK comes up and pressing the button on the end. It could just be your tyre pressures need checking and resetting or numerous other things. If it was an engine issue the EML would come on.

I'd not managed to work out how to scroll through that menu, so thanks Bruce for telling me. I'll take a look at this tonight to see what the numbers are and whether it tells me what they are. It's been into BMW the weekend before last to have the timing chain recall done. I'll get some pictures up once I've given it a clean :) didn't get chance this weekend, had a family wedding.

Hi Taz, Did you ever find out what this was? I have recently bought mine, and have noticed the same thing on the dash and was wondering what it was!

The triangle also comes up when your low on fuel.
