DSC was turned off... you probably hit the button by mistake... if it had an exclamation point next to it (not in it) it would be a problem... I am sure its in your users manual (Before Luigi gets to you!)

It means something is wrong. Like maybe a bulb or whatever. Look down when you start your car it will tell u. Or u can hit the menu button on the turn signal lever.

Either the DSC is off or your steering angle sensor (SZL) is going out. Check the iDrive for any control messages.

So I got in my car last night and pushed the DSC button - DTC illuminates... then I held the DSC button down and got the exact symbol the OP has - a triangle within a circle along with an exclamation point.... OP, you never said if the symbol came on again or ever went away. I am assuming its gone and you hit the button without realizing it.
