2015 BMW 4 Series Check Engine Light Codes

Nalley BMW of Decatur technicians frequently encounter specific diagnostic trouble codes on the 2015 BMW 4 Series that point to common but important issues. Typical codes can indicate oxygen sensor faults (triggering reduced fuel economy and emissions failures), misfire codes (leading to rough running and potential catalytic converter damage), and evaporative system faults like a loose or damaged gas cap (often inexpensive to repair but harmful if ignored). Ignoring these codes can lead to progressive damage: a bad oxygen sensor reduces MPG and can allow the engine to run too rich, which shortens catalytic converter life and increases repair costs substantially. Misfires left unaddressed can damage pistons or the catalytic converter, creating high repair bills. At Nalley BMW of Decatur in Decatur, GA, our diagnostics identify the exact code and recommended repair. We provide transparent pricing, OEM parts, and factory-trained technicians who restore reliability quickly. Choosing us means fast turnaround, accurate repairs that protect long-term value, and peace of mind that warranty and service history remain intact.
