2024 BMW XM Check Engine Light Codes

The technicians at Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA are highly experienced with the most common codes you’ll see on a 2024 BMW XM. Typical trouble codes point to oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, ignition coils, or mass airflow sensors—each has different cost and risk profiles when left unresolved. For example, an oxygen sensor fault can reduce fuel economy and lead to catalytic converter strain if ignored; repairing the sensor promptly is often far less expensive than replacing a damaged converter later. Ignition coil or spark plug failures may cause misfires that damage the catalytic system and reduce drivability; addressing these early preserves engine health. Our BMW-certified technicians diagnose issues with OEM-grade tools, provide a clear written estimate, and explain the immediate and long-term savings you’ll gain by fixing problems early. We use genuine BMW parts and factory procedures to keep your warranty intact and maximize vehicle longevity. For transparent pricing and trusted repairs, schedule service or review our service specials—and ask about service financing to make timely repairs easier.
