the small yellow light goes on when the emission sensors give any unusual reading. It takes 3 independent journeys without unusual readings to go off again. That's what a BMW emergency services technician told me last week. He fixed my coil but said he doesn't need to reset warning as it will turn off after 3 trips which it did.

Everything from a dead spark plug to a kat problem can cause emmision sensors to freak out.

Could be dpf problems. Try using dpf cleaner worked for me. Type dpf cleaner into ebay costs £20.

Hope you get it sorted
