Just happened today...... 03 mcs. Anyone know where the canister is for my mcs? Also, where are the o2 sensors? Check fill cap comes on intermittently. Thanks!!!

Ok....i guess i'm not getting a response. Anyone know how to reset the SES light or will my fix automatically take care of it? Thanks!!!

The SES is NOT the Check Engine Light
It is telling you that there is a Service due not that there is a trouble

You can reset it with a higher order scanner , or dealer but I would check what is due

Strange....i looked around here as well as Northamericanmotoring.com and there were are lot of references to Evaporative Canister problems, O2 sensor issues, and the ever-popular gas cap issue. The manual even says that there has been an emissions issue whenever this light comes on. I just got this car back in January and as far as I can tell, nothing is due to be replaced/serviced. Replaced rear brake pads, replaced tranny fluid - that's about it. Went to a local BMW/Mini service shop - the M shop ( themshop.com ) and they were nice enough to scan the code. "Leak in the evap system" the guy said - being careful NOT to give me the exact code. He reset it and its out right now. Will check O2 sensors asap....ordered a replacement gascap at another local parts store - etyparts.com.
