Did you (or anyone) had any feedback from the dealer?

I guess this light/symbol might indicate that the electric climatization is being used, as opposed to the traditional AC system that uses the thermal emgine for running.
Nevertheless, I would like to be sure about this!

If I had to wager a guess here... As I mentioned earlier this looks like a new symbol added to the LCI.

For my Pre-LCI MY2020 530e I'll get a similar symbol near my battery charge meter when the battery is too cold to let me know the system won't run on eDrive until it has warmed the battery (or cooled it in too hot temps). My guess is the LCI has this up top due to its extra overdrive in eBoost mode as I mentioned earlier.

Meaning since the battery is too cool (or warm) to allow the EV motor to run the symbol is letting you know that the extra HP you have access to via this functionality is unavailable until the battery is brought to temp.
