Default "Gear Box" warning, engine starts, won't go in to Drive.

Was driving around, parked at a store, then came back to start it back up. Started up fine, but I got this warning. Also noted that "Advanced Driving Modes not available" when I tried to switch to Dynamic Mode.

After shutting off engine, I waited a minute and restarted. Corrected itself on the 2nd start. This is not the first time that this has happened to me.

Should I be worried?

This might shed some light:

It sounds like you might need to take a trip to the dealer.

It happened to me once a year or so ago. Seemed ominous at the time, but didn't prove to be anything serious. It cleared up on restart; dealer replace a brake switch. No issue since.

I bought my 2015 R second hand, and did a check of if and what had been done to the car the first year by the first owner.

I was told by the servicedepartment that the car had been in the workshop once (when it was ~ 4 months / 2500 km) for a recall regarding an upgrade conserning the transmission.

Don't know the details but I have never experienced any problems.
