Anyone heard of a Orange brake light pop up. Its an orange brake light on and a triangle with a quotation mark in it. When I start my car it pops up and warns. Anything wrong with the brakes or just the sensors again. I hope not to bring in the dealer and waste a few days.

You may not be fully disengaging your e-brake handle. Does it stay on the whole time you're driving, or just for a little while? If it comes on again I would try resetting your e-brake handle and then disengaging it again.

Did you release your hand brake?

Take a pic and post it here.
Go to Service menu and check for the error message. Tell us what it says.

Check the brake fluid... low maybe? But one would think the iDrive will tell you something...
