It's the 'Warning: Trophy' light. Some kind of prize awaits you after you go another 700 miles. But seriously, it's the Service Requirements symbol however the manual is quite vague about it's purpose. I think it has to do with FOB info and only BMW can unlock the secrets behind that door.

If your car has around 29,000 miles on it, it probably refers to the upcoming 30k Inspection service.
But why not find out from your car? Simply go to "Service Requirements" in your manual & follow the instructions to read the Service Info on your iDrive or dash computer. Tom |

I have this same thing, but in RED. I am at 61250 miles, I think its for the 60k maintenance.
I have tried researching what they actually do for this maintenance, and if its worth it. The owner's manual is not very clear what this symbol means. |

From the Bentley Manual:
This is the "vehicle check" symbol. Items that should be checked include the following: Horn, headlight flasher, hazard warning flasher, check operation Instrument cluster and control lighting, blower, check operation Lighting system (dome lights, glove compartment light, flashlight, trunk light, turn signals, hazard warning flasher, back-up lights, brake lights, license plate lights, check operation Safety belts, check condition and function Wipers, and washers check Body, check for corrosion Tires, check tread depth, wear pattern, condition, inflation pressure, correct pressure as necessary Run-flat indicator initialize Battery, check state of charge, charge as required Power steering fluid, check fluid level Airbags, inspect for torn covers, damage or attached stickers Mirrors, inspect Engine coolant, check level and concentration Windshield washer, intensive cleaning system, check protection level, fluid level, top off if necessary Brake system connections and lines, check for leaks, damage and correct positioning Underbody (transmission, rear axle, fuel lines, exhaust system) check for damage, leaks and corrosion Steering components, check for clearance, leaks, damage and wear Road test, check for performance, braking, steering, suspension, noises If you don't want to pay the dealer $10,000 to do this and want to do it yourself, you can reset the service by doing the following: Close all doors, turn ignition on (accessory mode) Make sure lower displays in cluster show clock and mileage Press and hold trip odometer reset button for about 5 seconds until CBS (condition based service) icons begin to display in cluster. Release button. Press turn signal lever BC button repeatedly to scroll through CBS icons For each icon the word "reset?" is displayed. To reset a particular item, press and hold BC button. A small analog clock icon is displayed. When complete, the chosen CBS item is reset. To insure that the reset was done, press BC button while looking at CBS reset icon. Acknowledgement of reset is shown with a check mark in a box. Hope that helps. |

Looks somewhat similar to the "Particle Filter Fault" icon. Since it is in red, perhaps a filter is blocked or is scheduled for replacement.
Are there any the Check Control messages? Tom |

LOL, he was being sarcastic, there is no catalytic fan. The symbol means the onboard conditioned based sensor has determined your microfilter needs replacing. They are not too pricey, and are easily replaced.

Dude, sorry, I was really goofing with Tom K. Didn't mean to lead you astray. But really the symbol is referenced in the Owners Manual.
