What does the warning light with a gear and an exclamation mark mean in the BMW 3 Series?
Years 2005-2013

Answer

If the warning light showing a gear with an exclamation mark inside has come on in our BMW 3 Series E90, it means that a fault has been detected in the transmission. It can be accompanied by other signals, by an acoustic signal and by abnormal gearbox behavior. The causes of the problem can be many but it can often be solved by carrying out a simple maintenance, thus replacing the oil by now worn out. In any case, let us rely on our trusted workshop.
