New R53 Cabrio OWNER!!! with a BIG problem!

Hi everybody, im from Mexico, i always wanted a mini just because they are like karts to drive and a good car for everyday..

Im an ex owner of a GTI MKV




So for that reason i love to drive not too fast, but yes.. i love to drive in a fun way..

Now i own a Mini Cooper 2006 Chili S Automatic Cabrio..



But yesterday i was driving in the freeway and the TRACTION CONTROL (i think it is) started to appear a lot of times and then the car loose all the power.. and then i turned off the engine.. but when i tryied to switch on everything works.. all the gauges except the BAR gauge.. and obviously the car didnt work..
This is the ''symbol'' that appears..

This is the interior of my car.. (not mine but just for ilustration)

if you can see in the central big gauge wich contains a lot of info, there is the bar gauge..
Some ideas?
Thank you for your time.
Cheers!!!!
