That sucks. I've seen several posts on here with various culprits. Let us know what you find out. Hopefully it's a quick and easy fix.

Just went through this. I think I had more lights on in my case -- do you also have brake & ABS lights on? I'm guessing not, but I can't recall where they are located in the cluster with respect to the picture you posted.

In my case, it was a bad DSC module.

What'd they do? It actually hasn't shown up again after turning the car back on. Hopefully it stays off.

I'll wait until it pops up again before bringing it it.

sard, the dealership which I bought the car said it's the battery and they just recharged it when the error came the first and second time. The second dealership reset the program when the errors came the third and fourth time. The last time, the second dealership reprogrammed the car and it still has issues. Finally they replaced the mechatronic unit and the car seems fine finally.....

Question

Since taking delivery of a new 2013 X3-28i sixty days ago, I have seen this error message twice. Each time it has appeared immediately after starting the car. In both cases, I turned off the engine and re-started and it did not re-appear. I asked my dealer if they have had any other reports of this and they said no. I chalked it up to a momentary computer glitch. Any other 2013 X3 owners seen this?

Same thing happened to my mom's 2013 X3 28i (took delivery less than a month).
