BMW Check Engine Light

Your check engine light was created for a reason. Never ignore it! Neglected check engine lights (CEL) can lead to costly repairs. Your BMW CEL is letting you know there is an error in your vehicle’s system. There are many reasons your check engine light might be on, some of them are serious, others are smaller issues.
