A snow flake flashed up on my dash
Does anybody know what this means when a yellow snow flake flashes on your dash?

I think it's a warning indicating freezing temperatures outside.

Your car tracked a major blizzard coming your way, so you better stay inside your house for the next 3 months!!
Sorry, couldn't resist

Haha it's funny that people in the southern states have had no idea what this symbol means until now. I wish it was 37 degrees here

I'm pretty sure it means the coolant and oil are frozen. I've been told that simply dropping a match in the gas tank does the trick.
Edit: see clarification a couple posts below Last edited by Nikolas; 01-07-2010 at 11:22 AM.. |

I am pretty sure that BMW gives each owner a manual in which all the symbols are posted but I could be mistaken....
If my memory serves me correctly it means that the car is requesting a ski trip... no?

Clarification: Do not drop match in gas tank as this may cure the snow flake symbol due to unreasonably high temperatures that could result in damage to your vehicle, personal property and people inside your vehicle and your skin melting off your face. |
