It is your tire pressure monitor. You need to reset it - read the manual for instructions. Probably happened if one tire is low on air, or you just installed your winter tires and the car detects a difference in rotation from one wheel to the next (Canadian + European cars use the ABS for TPMS - record differeces in wheel-to-wheel rotation, rather than actual pressure sensors in the wheels).

The triangle is the "something is wrong" warning that indicates a "check system" condition you need to look at - either on the iDrive screen or via the turn signal stalk's scroll. For instance, in the case of tire warning, if you press the end of the stalk the tire warning will go away but the triangle will remain.

Nothing to serious, maybe washer fluid low, +1qt oil, upcoming service, etc. Youd have to check the system as stated above

As stated before - the Warning Triangle to the right of the 'D' is just to alert you that there is something that needs your attention - look up above to the other icon to see what that is - in this case it is your TPMS, so low tire somewhere...

Heck that warning triangle even comes on when you're low on gas
