2022 BMW M3 Check Engine Light Codes

The most frequent codes for a 2022 BMW M3 that drivers see in Medford, MA often relate to oxygen sensors, catalytic converter efficiency, misfires, and battery or charging system voltage anomalies. Left unaddressed, an oxygen sensor issue can lead to poor fuel economy and accelerated catalytic converter wear, costing significantly more in parts and labor. A misfire condition can damage the catalytic converter, increasing repair costs and risking engine damage. Charging or battery-related codes may seem minor but can cause erratic electronics and false engine warnings; replacing a weak battery or correcting charging faults early avoids electrical cascading failures. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford we interpret each code in context, combining battery and engine diagnostics to deliver a precise plan. Our BMW-certified technicians use OEM parts and factory tools so repairs are done right the first time, often costing less than independent shops when you factor in accuracy, warranty protection, and long-term reliability.
