2023 BMW X5 M Check Engine Light Codes

At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, we see several recurring codes on the 2023 BMW X5 M. Typical issues include oxygen sensor faults (affecting emissions and fuel economy), EVAP system leaks (often triggered by a loose gas cap or canister leak), ignition misfires (which can damage catalytic converters if unchecked), and turbocharger or boost-related faults on forced-induction engines. Ignoring these can escalate costs: a failed oxygen sensor can reduce fuel efficiency and contaminate expensive emissions components, misfires can lead to catalytic converter replacement, and EVAP leaks may eventually fail emissions testing. Our dealership approach pairs precise diagnostics with OEM parts — saving money by targeting the root cause, not just masking symptoms. With certified BMW technicians, genuine parts, and clear pricing, customers in Medford benefit from faster turnaround and long-term savings. To book a diagnostic, please schedule service online, and check our service specials for current offers.
