Snap! I have a 14 month 530i and I'm also in London with similar mileage. Yesterday I also got the iDrive message when I started the car. I drove a few miles, parked to do some shopping and found the message had disappeared when I drove home. No warning lights and no indication that anything is amiss.

I would do a visual check in daylight.
I had a similar thing (initial alarm, then just the amber light) and the light actually went out when I drove to the dealer this morning... but as my pictures above show, they really needed topping up!

So in conclusion, these turbo engines consume coolant for unknown reasons. I guess I have to keep coolant handy at home.
My N52 E90 never needed any coolant top offs in the years I had the car.
