AFAIK there is no further info available besides the engine warning light* without an OBD II code reader. In my case, the iDrive service screens say all systems are OK. But...
Several members have posted that AutoZone will read the OBD II code(s) for you for FREE. Just don't let them "clear the codes" or "reset the warning light".
FWIW I bought my own generic OBD II code reader because the closest AutoZone in nearly a 40mi round trip. Besides one of my hobbies is working on cars, etc. So I'd rather be able to check the codes ASAP.

* this light is variously called an 'engine warning light', a 'Service Engine Soon light' (SEL) in the trade, or an "Exhaust-gas values" light in the 2009 35d manual. Depending on when you 35d was manufactured it could be a light with the words SERVICE ENGINE SOON or an yellow engine shaped symbol at the top center of the warning lights.
