Have your service department investigate immediately; show them these photos if the warnings go away on their own. It looks similar to the issue(s) discussed in this thread:

Bummer Nicktian. Move your tracking of the issue to Lotus' or Juddholland's thread so they're all in one spot. Thanks.

No lemon law in Canada, at least I am not aware of any. Your recourse is via the dealer and/or BMW Canada.

If Nickian's also goes away once the engine is stopped and restarted, it's another example of the "classic" multiple error display intermittent fault. This should be posted in http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=498221

If it has the same cause as the ones previously mentioned on this forum, it will probably take BMW a while to correctly identify the cause and fix it properly. Expect the fault warning to occur randomly and to occur more and more often as time goes on.

Document everything, note the odometer reading every time the fault warning occurs, bring it in to the dealer immediately. Your dealer should be able to read the stored fault codes from your "Remote Key" to document that the "multiple error display fault warning" warning actually happened. Be sure that the dealer checks for "codes" and documents them.

Good Luck.

Sorry to necro this thread (found it by looking at Nicktian's new thread and looking at his previous issues), but what option was taken to have the Efficient Dynamics & the cluster menu appear on 4 lines? When I test drove the fully loaded + sport package (back then) 35i, it definitely didn't have that, and mine doesn't either with the M package.

So if you posted this in 06, and you bought in 04 (just like me)... so confused! lol

there is an option within iDrive called "additional indicators" or something. It allows you to turn this gauge on/off. I personally find it obnoxious!
