Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2019 BMW 3 Series indicates a potentially severe condition — commonly an engine misfire that risks catalytic converter damage, poor drivability, and reduced fuel economy. When you see a flashing light, avoid heavy loads and high RPMs, pull safely to the side, and contact Nalley BMW of Decatur immediately. Our certified BMW technicians use dealer-level scanners and live-data analysis to pinpoint misfires, ignition faults, and fuel or compression problems accurately. Fixing the right issue the first time preserves catalytic converter life and prevents cascading failures that are far more expensive. We prioritize same-day diagnostics when possible and keep you informed of costs and timelines; our dealership often costs less than independent shops once you consider correct diagnosis, OEM parts, and warranty protection that saves money over time. Take advantage of our transparency, available service specials, and service financing so you can get repairs now and spread payments.

We also explain immediate and long-term savings from correct repair, preventing repeat visits and preserving resale value.
