Check Engine Light Flashing
The check engine light flashing on a 2016 BMW M4 usually indicates an active misfire or a condition that can cause immediate catalytic converter damage. A flashing light is more urgent than a steady light and requires immediate inspection to prevent costly downstream repairs. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our factory-trained technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics and will perform a rapid, comprehensive scan to identify misfires, ignition faults, or turbo control anomalies. We use BMW OEM diagnostic equipment so the root cause is identified quickly, limiting diagnosis time and minimizing parts that are replaced unnecessarily. For owners, the dealership’s fixed processes and warranty alignment mean that emergency repairs are handled transparently with written estimates and options that emphasize both immediate safety and long-term cost savings. We offer service financing to help with unexpected repairs, and we regularly run service specials that lower out-of-pocket expense.

2016 BMW M4 Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 BMW M4 can be done with code readers, but a reset without repair can mask underlying problems and risk warranty or long-term engine health. Our recommendation at Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford is to pair any reset with a certified diagnostic; our technicians scan for stored and pending trouble codes and review freeze-frame data to determine whether a simple reset is appropriate or if a targeted repair is required. Resetting at our dealership provides transparency: we log all codes, explain findings in plain language, and only recommend OEM parts when needed—maximizing vehicle longevity and limiting repeat visits. Because repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership, choosing Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford preserves coverage and often results in lower total ownership costs versus repeated independent fixes. We also provide financing options to spread payments and maintain mobility. For clear next steps and to reserve a slot, schedule service and review current service specials.
