2023 BMW X3 sDrive30i Check Engine Light Codes

In Medford, MA, Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford handles check engine light codes for the 2023 BMW X3 sDrive30i with precision and care. Common codes we see locally include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167 range), catalytic converter efficiency flags (P0420), misfire codes (P0300–P0306), and evaporative emission system issues (P0440 series). Left unchecked, oxygen sensor and catalytic converter problems reduce fuel economy and can lead to engine damage and costly replacements; misfires can damage the catalytic converter and increase repair bills dramatically. Our certified technicians use BMW factory scanners to identify the exact code, explain likely causes, and present repair options with cost comparisons and long-term savings. Choosing dealership service often costs less than independent shops when factoring accuracy, lasting repairs, OEM parts, and preserved warranty value.
