2017 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for the 2017 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor codes like P0130–P0167. Left unaddressed, a P0300 misfire can damage the catalytic converter and cause increased emissions, poor fuel economy, and drivability issues; timely repair avoids costly converter replacement. A P0420 often signals catalyst inefficiency and can escalate if related to long-term misfires or sensor failures. Codes indicating a lean condition will reduce fuel efficiency and may lead to engine wear.
