Common check engine light codes for the 2021 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe include misfire codes (P0300-P0306), oxygen sensor faults (P0130-P0167), turbocharger boost control issues, and EVAP system codes related to fuel vapor leaks. Left untreated, misfires can damage catalytic converters and increase repair bills substantially; a simple coil or spark plug replacement can prevent a $2,000+ converter replacement.
