Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in a 2020 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe usually signals a severe misfire or condition that can damage the catalytic converter if driven. For example, repeated misfires can introduce unburned fuel into the exhaust stream, overheating and degrading emission controls—leading to much higher repair costs if left unattended. At Nalley BMW of Decatur in Decatur, GA, we treat flashing lights as urgent: our technicians perform an immediate diagnostic, isolate ignition, fuel, and sensor faults, and recommend repairs that restore performance and protect long-term value. We use OEM parts and factory procedures so any warranty remains intact. We also promote immediate cost-savings through precise diagnostics that avoid unnecessary part changes, and our service financing options make urgent repairs manageable. Check our current service specials and schedule service online to get prompt attention and prevent compounding damage.

2020 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2020 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe include P0130–P0141 (oxygen sensor), P0300–P0304 (misfires), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), and P0171/P0174 (lean condition). Ignoring these codes can escalate costs: a bad O2 sensor often leads to poor fuel economy and emissions failures, while persistent misfires can ruin a catalytic converter—repair costs multiply compared to addressing the initial sensor or ignition component. At Nalley BMW of Decatur, our technicians quickly read codes with BMW-grade tools and explain repair scenarios and associated costs so you can make informed decisions. We emphasize dealership transparency: OEM parts, certified technicians, warranty protection, and the immediate and long-term savings that come from proper, timely repairs.
