e46 - m3 - what does this red light mean please?

[dreamweaver7]

can anyone please help me with this?

I'm guessing the left brake light has failed.

It refers to the left rocket booster.

One of the lights on the rear left has failed. Indicator or stop/tail. Is it LED on the back? Maybe check reverse,fog,numberplate too..

What year is the car. There is a known issue with E46 rear lights where the connector shorts due to bad earth and eventually corrodes away. See http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/25287-rear-ligh...

WAIT!

Don't try to replace any of the bulbs at the back of the car.Sometimes a bulb failure on the E46 can leak radiation into the car body,and this is detectable only by a particle counter such as a Geiger.You must take your car to a specialist right away.

You need to get that looked at. Asymmetric thrust could cause all sorts of handling issues.

I think its a Yeti warning. Special sensors have located large Yeti like footprints — be vigilant

More impressive on this shot is 505 miles on just a tiny fraction of fuel. ...must be the rocket boosters helping out on that one.
