The circle is the light for your Brakes. Usually means need new pads.

Hopefully someone else can bring more details about a fix.

Did you reset your TPM with the button by the e-brake?

there is a video on this page: http://www.miniusa.com/AboutYourMini/ on how to reset the tire pressure gauge, just make sure it is correct before you do.

Circle warning light looks like the brake pad sensor warning light. Either front or rear pads are getting thin and need replacement along with the sensor. All four brakes should be checked.

If you are handy, which it doesn't sound like, you could do this yourself. Other wise you will have to go to the dealer or an independent shop to have it done.
