Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2013 BMW X6 signals a potentially severe condition — commonly active misfires that can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, or critical sensor failures that compromise engine control. Driving with a flashing light risks rapid escalation: a misfire can ruin ignition coils, spark plugs, and catalysts; unresolved sensor faults can cause poor fuel economy, rough running, and expensive emissions system repairs. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our factory-trained technicians use BMW-specific diagnostics to identify cause and recommended repair steps quickly. We prioritize safety and value: you’ll receive a clear estimate, explanation of long-term savings from timely repairs, and information on warranty coverage (repairs covered by warranty must be completed at a certified dealership). We frequently run service specials and offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs immediately. For a fast, professional response, schedule service or call our service team today and protect your 2013 BMW X6 from costly downstream damage.

2013 BMW X6 Check Engine Light Reset

The most common check engine light codes for a 2013 BMW X6 include oxygen sensor (O2) faults, misfires (P0300–P0308), catalytic converter efficiency codes, and EVAP system leak codes. Left unaddressed, O2 sensor failures reduce fuel economy and can damage catalytic converters; misfires accelerate wear on ignition coils and the catalyst and risk stalling; EVAP leaks can cause emissions failures and inspection/registration issues. Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA provides localized, expert diagnostics for these codes with transparent pricing and repair recommendations that emphasize both immediate savings and long-term value. Our team documents labor and parts, explains warranty coverage (repairs under warranty must be done at a certified dealership), and offers service financing plus current service specials to reduce upfront cost.
