Not enough info here to start guessing.

You have a check engine light which means there are codes available telling you what may be going wrong.

Autozone and such places can't help you, you need a code reader that can read BMW diagnostic codes.

Look into the Carly app and OBD adapter and you can read the codes yourself and a bunch of other cool stuff.
