The Hazard sign (triangle and circle) is - Traction control off

perhaps it has blown a couple of fuses - traction control and something else, or a fuse and a bulb.

Yep - yellow one's traction control light warning, but as it's only a 318i it shouldn't cause any wheelspin issues ; )

if you mean the 'door open' warning - either a door isnt closed, or something is wrong with the mechanism - perhaps the little switch [that is on or off depending on door being open or closed] is damaged

Could well be you've blown a lamp. If the terminals are a bit dirty and the connection not good, it would show the same.

Doors are all closed, will check if anything in the boot around the clip.Usually when the door is open, the little lamps around that warning light are not normally on.First time Ive seen the 'lamps' around the warning light.Thanks haventrader - will check that too.Thanks everyone for your advice.

By lamps I think the poster means bulbs, as in tail stop, position etc.

To us electrical types, 'lamps' is the preferred correct terminology.

The yellow one is an ABS warning lamp.But it may only be a circuit issue.But, in case it is a sign the ABS system has failed, I would have the car checked.I had mine checked twice in my previous 330 and it was not the ABS system.Whew!
MIght as well get the other checked at the same time.Just be hopeful it is not the whole display system - I had to have mine replaced three Beamers back.

The one in the middle is DSC switched off, that's the traction control The "lamps" surrounding your car door warning are headlight and tail light failure warnings.
Tip petrol all over it and then light a match, all warning lights go out and give no futher trouble.

I thought they were globes! Lamp is the whole unit, as in headlamp.

Multiple apararently unrelated warning lights can be caused by a battery on the way out or poor connection to the battery at the terminals.
