I recently test-drove an F25 that I could be tempted to buy.  But...........  There is a small amber triangle with ! in illuminated.  It's located near the right-hand end of the ED/mpg display, but outside the chrome ring.  I know amber isn't as likely to be serious as red, but can anyone tell me what this warning is likely to be for?  Then if I decide to go back for the car I can point it out to the seller and get it fixed before handing-over my hard-earned.

TIA

I could be wrong but that light could mean a number of things i.e. low on fuel, washer fluid level low etc. Normally when you fire up the ignition you'll get a message telling you what the issue is before it reverts to the wee amber triangle.

you need to go into the idrive vehicle info and see what its relatingto, could be fuel, washer fluid service over due etc

Thank you both.  Sounds like it's nothing to be overly concerned about, then - as I kind-of suspected.

TBH, the selling dealer seems to have a very good rep. and although it looks like he bought the car at auction it's not been serviced outside the BMW dealer network (Cooper York, by the looks).  I suspect it only went to auction because it didn't meet AUC criteria.

As long as the warning light wasn’t the reason why!
