Bought my first Alpina :) and lovin it

I just bought my first Alpina, and this is by far the best car I have ever driven. I've owned many BMW's M3(few), M5 e39(second favorite), M5 e60(least favorite) and couple 550's, great cars. I was lucky that one of my friends owns a dealership and was able to buy it at a whole sale price, and the car is worth every penny. I showed it to my friends today who has a CLS63, and after he drove it, he said it was also one of the best cars , very refined and so much power, much better feeling that his cls and it looks "bad". My car is 2007 black on black, 12k mi, i am not sure what are available options, but i know the only thing i dont have is night vision and dvd entertainment. I have couple question hopefully you guys can answer, since i dont have manuals:
1. I have a yellow car displayed on above my navigation/idrive screen, what is it?
2. I used to have 2007 550, and my i-drive(nav) was different with 4 directions, and this one has 8, which is a pain in the ***[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Alex/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]. Can this be changed with a software update?
3. Are there any critical software updates/recalls that I should be aware off for the car?
4. I have some fan noise in or near my glove compartment, is this normal, its not very loud only noticed when turned off the car, and it ran for few more seconds.

Thanks in advance.

Alex
