buddy of mine, 06 530i, we did a standing start race between My 545i and my brothers 335i, would have been a fun run if the 530i didnt die after a hard shift into second gear, heard the clank from my car. BMW thinks it the clutch (without looking yet) but I've already had mine replaced and I never saw the dashboard symbol he had come up right after... looks like a car on two wheels, tilted. anybody know what that symbol means??

I'm guessing that it means stop and have your car towed to a dealer.

Not sure what the symbol means but can you tell us who won between your 545i and your brother's 335?

lol, no shit ... the 530i wouldnt move, so they came and towed it away. Like I said I heard the bang from my car so I immediately let off the throttle so we didnt continue with the run, I'll go head to head with the 3 hopefully tonight... but I have to be honest, I drove the 3 ..and I cant say what will happen, that lil sucker gets moving .. quick.
