it's europe - 2 years and out of warranty unless you buy an extended version. Thats' what Germany offers. Noone subsidises our cars here for us, this is not USA.

It's definitely a diesel glow plug.
When the engine is cold, the glow plugs may need to heat up for a few seconds before you can start the car. You'll pretty much never see them in the summer because the engine is always warm enough. I don't know exactly how to do it with a push-button start like we have in E90s, but in old fashioned cars with keys (), you'd turn the key to the ON position and wait for the glow plug light to go out, then turn the key to start the engine. The light is telling you that the plugs need to heat up before you can start the engine. It's normal.
