Sounds like the Tyre Pressure warning light, I take it you're on Run flats, sounds like you might have a puncture.

Run Flat indicator I think.

Might not be a puncture, it might be due to a lack of air pressure. They also come on if its very cold, becuase thei air pressure drops in colder weather.

If its in Yellow then its an error and it needs resetting, If in red then it will be a problem with your tires, puncture etc.. Reset it by pressing and holding down the runflat indicator button by the handbrake until the light stays lit up and goes off. This will stop it happening again. Mine did it when I swapped my wheels over a couple of days before. Nothing to worry about maybe you've just filled your tires up with air? Can happen.

I thought it was engine management or something? The tyre one is near the indicator one i think. I should know really whilst I'm surgically attached to my mini!

Your original post describes the tyre monitor symbol, but the position of the light you describe suggests the EML (engine management) light or engine emissions light which is just above it.

If you mean where the green box is then that's the engine emissions light. However that looks like a little engine symbol as below:
