Thank you KenatMiniMania. This morning, the engine light was not on and I took my Mini to Advance Auto Parts and they were able to get my code.

After awhile, it went from the main warning indication on the RPM gage to the small warning indicator on the Speedometer and remained illuminated. I have noticed that the sound from my muffler has taken on an occasional rumbling noise, making it sound like a race car, if that makes sense. The owner's manual says that it should be taken in for service. Should I take it in for service immediately, or is it just a muffler about to go bad? Also any insight you have would help me a lot. I am currently living over 100 miles from the nearest Mini dealer.
Thank you in advance for your help.

If the check engine light is not red, or the car is not in 'limp mode' - you should be okay to drive it.
