    Dashboard Symbol Unknown

    I have this dashboard symbol and two diagnostic sites I went to had the other, but not this symbol.

    Does anyone know what this means?

    An example site I look at can be seen here:

    Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

    Can you help us help you better by letting us know which ones you know or which part of the display the warning appears in that you need help with (#3, #6, or #7)? I see multiple symbols but I have no clue which one you don't know. Why make us have to write explanations for things that don't need to be explained.



    I see 3 warning lights illuminated at the top right...then the big traction control warning in the center...along with being in drive etc. But I don't know which warning you're needing help with:


    EDIT: maybe the info below can be of help...it says that all the symbols are explained in the owners manual. If you don't have one...I'm sure you can google "BMW e70 X5 owners manual PDF" and you can download a PDF version of the owners manual to your device.

    Did you figure this out? If not, please specify which warning you need help with.

    Sorry for not being specific. It was in the "6" section, the snowflake.

    I downloaded the PDF manual prior to posting, it wasn't there lol.

    Yes, I think it's a weather warning.

    Btw, what do you mean "Bengal"?

    Pretty sure he was referring to Chris Bangle...the much maligned BMW design chief that ushered in the "Bangle-butt" e65/e66 7 series that many hated but you now see on multiple vehicles of many other vehicle makers...which makes him correct in that others would follow where many thought they did NOT want to go.

    Hail Chris Bangle! Just do a google search for "BMW Chris Bangle"...and if you see any article from the early to mid 2000s...you'll get a glimpse of this controversial BMW figure.

    @qsilver7 You know, I really like the back look of my E70 08 X5, V8 4.8i but after doing a google search, man, those 7 series E65 have one ugly appearance. No wonder the world was mad at him lol.

    It is unique, I'm okay with the design, not a fan, but okay with it. He has designed some really nice looking cars, shame the internet still remembers him for the Bangle Butt.

    Side note, I finally got my lights to clear. Small Evap leak was the engine light. In terms of the "traction" light, I think it's a TPM (or several) which are malfunctioning. I plan on checking the batteries this weekend.

    The warning is not to tell you it's "cold"...but that it's cold enough that the "wet" spot you see (sometimes you can't see it) on the road may not be just a simple wet spot...but a patch of black ice that will send you careening into oncoming traffic or off the road completely.

    It may be not that significant in areas that don't get ambient temps below 37° F often...but for those of us that do...that little warning can possibly save your life. It's a reminder to not assume that the road or pavement is safe (bridges, parts of road in the shade, etc) that it may be worse than what it appears. Again, a "wet spot" may be way more dangerous than what you think.
