Snow Flake Symbol within a Triangle Sign

Shanghai Bimmer · 12-31-2009, 08:08 AM

Hey guys, happy new year greetings!

Does anyone of you guys experience a "Snowflake" Symbol contain within a triangle as a warning message poping up on the Speedometer display?

Does E90post have a list displaying the different warning symbols and the meaning of it?

Please advice. Thanks.

It means the outside temp is 37F or lower. It's just there to serve as a warning to drive carefuly.

....or as I tell the wife when she asks what that warning sound was....."the it's f-ing cold light" came on...

Seriously its as the other guy said 37' possible black ice...blah, blah, blah

I don't know if there is a symbol key anywhere (there should be if there isn't and it should be a sticky, IMO), but I found it in the manual.

The temperature is bellow 3C and is danger of ice on the road

It means your car is going cannot handle low temperatures, it is advised you stop the car and take a taxi from here on!

Every winter we will get atleast 3 or 4 of these threads. Glad someone answered the question quick... now let's let this thread slide into the abyss with all the other snowflake threads...

If you have summer tires on your vehicle, please be very safe as summer tires do not adhere to the road as well in cold conditions.

Maybe we can get a sticky thread each winter for the snow flake warning.

Your owner's manual says that means Baby It's Cold Outside.

I figure it's really a reminder to put your winters on! LOL
