Why is my BMW 1 Series displaying a check engine light?

I noticed that the check engine light on my BMW 1 Series has turned on. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The check engine light can indicate a range of issues, from something as simple as a loose gas cap to a more serious engine problem. It's important to have the car diagnosed by a professional to determine the exact cause of the light.

If your car is still running smoothly, the issue may not be urgent. However, it's important to have it checked out to prevent any potential damage to the engine. I recommend taking it to a certified BMW mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

Sometimes the check engine light can be triggered by a faulty sensor. Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and see if the light disappears. If it does, then the issue was most likely due to a faulty sensor that has reset itself.
