Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2010 BMW 1 Series signals a severe condition that requires immediate attention. Flashing usually means a misfire or an issue sending unburned fuel into the exhaust, which can damage the catalytic converter and dramatically increase repair costs if ignored. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA our BMW-certified technicians perform priority diagnostics to protect both performance and emissions equipment. We’ll explain the issue, recommend OEM repairs that preserve your car’s longevity, and outline warranty or coverage options. Because a flashing light can escalate quickly, we recommend you avoid sustained high-speed driving and schedule service as soon as possible. Review our service specials to find discounts and ask about service financing to make immediate repairs manageable. Our goal is fast, accurate fixes that minimize downtime and cost over the vehicle’s life.
