Hi there
After a seriously long period I finally received my Weissman GT5 yesterday which has just come back from the Weismann factory after it has recently started up in business again. The reason for me coming onto the BMW forum is that engine (V10) and all running gear along with most electrical/electronics are BMW sourced so hoping someone can help. It is flagging up a warning light which in the photo is the orange one below the oil warning light - obviously photo taken with igniton on and parked up. I have attached a photo of the car as most people wonder what the hell it is !!
many thanks

I`d say it's stop start deactivated, possibly due to battery charge level . Very nice car more pics please 
That's the old symbol for stability and traction control deactivated. Ergo, probably wheel speed sensor or maybe a faulty ABS pump.Absolutely love the MF5, or the MF3 or MF4. Amazing body with lovely engines. I remember on Top Gear they showed how short the springs are and on very low profile tyres but it still rides well.
Many thanks to all the responses. The car has been stood around for quite a while so hopefully its the battery at fault .
In response to the link - this is in fact the car in question which I purchased back in November 2022. The history of the car is very interesting in so much that it is one of only five RHD cars produced and was destined to go to Singapore as a demo car for the far east but before it was delivered the company went into receivership and for five years it was kept at the factory in Germany before it was finally sold to a guy in Andorra - who I eventually purchased it from.
Since then it had eventually to be sent back to Weissman who in the meantime have now started trading and the guy who was involved in the original manufacture of the guy had also started back and found two sensors giving the limp home mode problem.
After nearly a year of waiting it arrived on Friday - and worth the wait!
