335i - Engine Warning

Hiya,

This morning my beloved 335i startled me into thinking something might be broken...I started the car as usual and the big yellow 'engine has a problem' warning indicator came on and a message that there was reduced power.

I turned the engine off and waited a minute. Upon restarting the engine sputtered a bit, revs danced around between 500 and 1200 rpm and then it settled to normal.

I tentatively drove it to work - 26 miles - and it appears to be fine.

Should I be worried? Is this simply a blip or would it be wise to have it checked by the Dealer? The car has done 22000 miles.

Cheers,
S
