Check Engine Light, Rough Start. 2009 Mini S.

Yesterday while driving on the freeway my "Yellow" check engine light came on. I pulled over and read my owner's manual and it said to continue my journey but get it checked out ASAP. "ASAP is tomorrow BTW". This morning when I tried to start it up normally, it tried to start but immediately stalled out. I tried this 2 more times with the same result. I then gave it a little gas while starting it and I kept it running.

Any Ideas?

Perhaps new "Summer Fuel" mixture?
