How to troubleshoot a recurring BWM engine issue?

I have a 2006 BWM 325xi with an engine issue that seems to recur every few months. The engine light comes on and the car goes into limp mode. It usually resolves itself after a few days, but I'm tired of dealing with it. What could be causing this and how can I fix it for good?

It's possible that the issue is related to your oxygen sensor or air mass meter. These are common areas of concern in BWMs. I recommend having a diagnostic test done to pinpoint the root cause.

Have you checked your spark plugs and ignition coils? These are often the culprit in recurring engine issues. Make sure to use high-quality, OEM parts for the best performance.

I had a similar issue with my BWM and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. It's not a cheap fix, but it could be the reason for your recurring issues. Make sure to go to a reputable mechanic for the best diagnosis and repair.
