What's happening
BMW "Service Engine Soon" light

the light misteriously showed up last friday (~35k), searched the phrase on the net, found people saying as long as you have engine oil and coolant, it is safe, oil level was ok, coolant was way below the marks. added coolant, started the engine twice, on the second start, the light was off, the car seemed happier also...
