When I i go to select drive I sometimes get a light come that looks like pic of the gear selector with an exclamation mark ! Next to it on the little screening the instrument cluster ?
Only stays for a few seconds then goes and it's not every time :blink:
I tried searching and googling the light but nothing.
Is it me ? Or does it mean something is wrong ?

Are you talking about what looks like a gear wheel with a '!' In the middle that appears between the speedo & Rev counter? If so then it's a Transmission/Gearbox fault condition. Best option is to get it to a Dealer or Indy with the right software and get the fault codes read.
You should get a message in the iDrive telling you what is wrong. It could be the box, transfer box, diffs hence needing diagnostics.
If it really looks like the gear selector lever and appears in the iDrive, you didn't press the button on the side when moving the selector. It's BMW's way of slapping your wrist!
