Today my service engine soon light came on..car still rides smooth and idrive reads all systems are ok...took it to the dealer and car cant be looked at till monday....i have 47k so iam still under warranty but should i be worried
i have an 07 530xi has anybody else had this problem?

 

Do not drive the car until Monday! The car will implode if you do! At that time have the tow truck take the car to the dealer. Do not drive it. This is just another way for the dealer to not warranty something on your car. Implosions are not warrantable!



Yeah you will be ok, nothing will happen.


Its the 'check engine' light that you have to be really worried about

 

um check engine and SES is the same thing-they are related to any kind of emissions problems-so anything from a mis fire of a cylinder screwing up the normal flow of things, to leaving your gas tank not tightened enough and it letting some pressure out. I have had mine come on twice under warranty-one time a valve spring broke and that was a mess-I had my entire cylinder head replaced. The second time was part of the VANOS actuator motor-again replaced. If it drives fine you are ok-a lot of things trigger this.

 

remove and replace your gas cap. make sure you get the second click...

 

thx guys...it was the damn gas cap!!!!

 

Don't blame the gas cap ... if you didn't put it on correctly
