Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2022 BMW X7 is a serious warning — it typically means the engine is misfiring, which can lead to catalytic converter damage, sudden power loss, or unsafe driving conditions. When you see a flashing CEL, stop driving as soon as it is safe and bring the vehicle to Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA for immediate attention. Our factory-trained technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics because delaying service often increases repair complexity and cost. We begin with a thorough scan using BMW-specific tools, perform road or load tests as needed, and isolate ignition, fuel, or emission control faults. Choosing certified dealership service reduces the risk of repeated failures because we use OEM parts and follow BMW repair procedures — preserving warranties and long-term reliability. Ask our service advisors about current service specials and our service financing options so you can address urgent repairs now and spread payments over time.

We also document work for warranty purposes — remember, repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
