My sister in law just bought a 2004 525i and she says there is a yellow light that says limit and it has a circle around it and it keeps blinking....what could this be???

Something like this ? DSC warning (or DSC disabled) ?

DSC unit failure @ 60k miles... - Page 5 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

Or is is the speed limit warning light (you can set the max speed of the car via the idrive menu)

DSC is helping with traction and she is probably slipping on snow/ice and the car is keeping her on the road. She may want to consider reading the owners manual as there are a lot of features in modern BMW's.

No its not that, i know what that is. This light is a complete circle with the word "limit" inside. I'm having her send my a better pic and then i will post it.

It's your speed limiter warning light. You can change the limit or disable it through your iDrive settings.

Tell her to slow down

We have that in this part of the world. It's a fixed feature in all our vehicles and chimes at 120km/h.
