What does that exclamation mark mean? Sometimes I see it sometimes I dont I havent been able to figure out what it tells me.

At first I thought it was for the safetly belt but then yesterday I noticed it was there while I was driving and I have the belt on.

It means, that there is a check control message/warning message for you.

Oh... so... I'm afraid to ask but where should I check for that message? I know in the iDrive but where?

Edit: Looked in the manual... press the "i" and then select check control messages...

Now where do they store the warnings??

You get a warning message and a chime, and after the message disappears the sign remains in dash.
In idrive you can also see those messages. It's somewhere in the "I"menue, a position named "check control messages" or something similar...

You can also see the message in the iDrive screen "status bar" by pressing in on the check button on the turn-signal stalk...

Cool thanks. I just went to check the "Check control status" and it said everything is ok.
