Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2017 BMW X3 xDrive35i usually indicates an active misfire or another condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven long. This is a more urgent signal than a steady light and means you should stop driving if performance is compromised and have the vehicle inspected immediately. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our BMW-trained technicians use factory-grade scanners to capture freeze-frame data, read live sensor values, and identify whether the issue is ignition, fuel delivery, turbo boost control, or exhaust related. We emphasize dealership transparency: you’ll get a clear diagnostic report, options for repair with OEM parts, and an explanation of how each choice affects long-term vehicle health. We also highlight savings over time — fixing a flashing condition quickly prevents expensive downstream damage.
