Solid orange engine light came on

Good afternoon/evening folks,

I went for a 150km Sunday afternoon drive today. (Cruising speed, didn't push the car) On the way home, about 50km away, the orange engine light came on silently. I stopped at a gas station checking things up. Fuel door was tight and sealed. Checked with idrive and shows system all OK. The light remained on after restarting the car a couple of times. I read the owner's manual book and the only thing I could get was "emission Canadian mode", nothing else. Therefore, I proceed to call BMW assist and described to what happened. The rep said I could keep driving as long as it doesn't turn red and will visit a local BMW service center tomorrow for that error.

Is there a way to read out the error code like I could in the E9X? Makes me wonder what caused the light to come on, especially I didn't get any audio warning like I used to get in the other BMWs. 2 weeks ago when the car needed 1L of oil, I did get any audio warning along with a message showing on the display.

Any thoughts guys?
