OK guys - I am stumped. I have a small square icon left of my date display in the instrument cluster that displays a "1" inside of the square. Along the top side of the square, there are three little items that could be representing a spiral binding like a note pad. I have looked through the owner's manual with no luck. Can someone help me out with this? What is this indicating? Thanks.

On order- F10 520d SE-Titanium Silver
Date shouldn't require a ''calendar symbol'' to tell usit's the date. The time doesn't have a clock symbol beside it! Is there a diary fucntion on the F10? ( for notes, important dates, meetings etc? )

I first thought that it may be a message symbol; however I had no BMW system messages and no messages in the linked Bluetooth phone. Still lookin for a definitive answer - guess I will check with my BMW dealer next week.

A bit to right and higher up, under the rpm tacho I have three clover light right after the start.
In a minute or so it changes the l/100 km light (but a bit to the right).
Need to take a pic of what I mean.

Perhaps you are correct - I took delivery on August 13. The car was completed about 2 to 3 weeks prior. I will watch the icon to see if the numeral inside the square changes. Anyone else have any information?
Thanks again for the reply.

Now I'n pretty sure that the "1" in the box is only a symbol and the three "clovers" or what ever are "stars" for economical driving. And I suppose three stars in the best you can get, since I have been broken in my car.
