Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2016 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is a serious warning that indicates an active misfire or another condition that can damage the catalytic converter. When the CEL flashes, heat and unburned fuel can enter the exhaust and quickly create an expensive secondary problem. For Medford drivers, Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford recommends pulling over safely and having the vehicle towed or driven at low speed to prevent further harm. Our certified technicians perform a prioritized diagnostic to identify and stop the fault at its source, protecting both performance and long-term value. We use OEM replacement parts and factory procedures, which helps preserve warranties and ensures the repair addresses the exact failure mode. Take advantage of our current service specials and ask about service financing to manage cost. Don’t delay: schedule service online or contact our service team right away for fast, professional care.
2016 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo can be done after the underlying fault is repaired, but simply clearing codes without repair hides problems and risks further damage.

This approach protects vehicle longevity and warranty coverage. Choosing dealership service ensures transparency—detailed estimates, documented repairs, and factory-trained technicians who understand BMW systems. We frequently deliver lower total cost of ownership compared with independent shops because our precise repairs prevent recurring failures.
