2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 228 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes on a 2026 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 228 include oxygen sensor faults, misfire codes, EVAP system leaks, and catalytic converter-related codes. In Medford, MA, Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford uses the latest BMW diagnostic systems to decode these codes and translate them into clear repair options. For example, leaving an oxygen sensor fault unaddressed can reduce fuel efficiency and damage the catalytic converter—costs that rise quickly if deferred. An EVAP leak often has an inexpensive fix when found early; ignored, it can lead to failed emissions checks and larger repairs. Misfire faults can cause engine damage over time if not corrected, while catalytic converter failures are among the more expensive outcomes of delayed diagnosis. Our team provides an itemized estimate, explains immediate and long-term savings from OEM repairs, and offers service financing to keep you moving.
