Recently this icon came up whenever I start my engine and now its down to 1900km. I just serviced my car at 88k km not too long ago, now Im at 94k km, my next oil change is indicated at 9000km later. I tried googling but wasnt too successful, maybe I didnt key in the keywords or whatsoever.

What needs to be done when this icon comes flashing up?
 
Re: What needs to be done ?

Something else should also show up together with this icon. It can be brake, ABS or vehicle electronics.

Diagnosis test.

- Horn, headlight flasher and hazard warning lights.
- Instrument and indication field lighting, check heater blower.
- Windscreen wash/wipe system.
- Body: checked for corrosion.
- Tyres: tread depths, tread pattern and external condition, check inflation pressures and correct if necessary (spare wheel checked also).
- Battery: display checked, and if necessary, replaced. – If your car is a few years old it is worth getting your battery checked prior to the onset of cold and damp weather, as these conditions can contribute to deterioration in the battery.
- Steering fluid reservoir: fluid level checked.
- Coolant level and refill if necessary: if there’s too little water and anti-freeze in the cooling system, then the engine can overheat and cause potentially serious damage.
- Windscreen washer system: check fluid level, top up if necessary.
- Brake lines and connections: checked for leaks, damage, and correct position.
- Under-body including all visible parts: checked for damage, leaks and corrosion.
- Steering components: checked for clearance, leaks, damage and wear.
- Check for roadworthiness

Brakes
Steering
Shock absorbers; and
Clutch / automatic transmission

ADDITIONALLY: A Standard Scope inspection is carried out on your BMW when it is brought in for a service. This inspection includes:
* Check of control messages.
* Check of telltale and warning lights flagged in the LCD display.

Check alternator and battery.
 
Re: What needs to be done ?

perhaps at 100k milleage, give your ride a 'spa' treatment at one of the sponsor workshop to check from head-to-tail and clear all the service lights
just highlight to the workshop it's NOT a ticket to chop robert to suggest to change everything and anything :lol:

Could it be your brake pads? Maybe it's ur brake pads sensor.

Cannot be, cos I just changed my front and rear pads and rotors less than 6 months ago.....

Nope, only this indicator came up and looked just like the normal service mileage countdown counter. So when I went inside the OBC to see, the Icon came up as per my 1st post....scratch head.....
