not really, just that it is normal.

Mine goes off after approximately twenty minutes. It also goes off on my E60 after approx. twenty minutes also. Wagner, I may be wrong but I don't think that its normal for that light to be constantly on.

Cheers

After turning off the motor go back and check in about half an hour and you will notice that the light is off.

Actually, I just came across is a previous discussion thread where it stays on for some people and goes off for some people, so go figure.
