iDrive doesn't tell you anything useful. If the light's lit, something's wrong.

You can use a good code reader (a BMW one, not an OBDII reader) to get more information. If you're still under warranty you might as well bring it back to the dealership.

It could very well be due to the fuel filler cap. If you do not tighten it till you hear the click, the "Service Engine Soon" light will glow for a couple of days and will reset itself.
