Check Engine Light Flashing

Nalley BMW of Decatur in Decatur, GA treats a flashing check engine light on a 2021 BMW ALPINA B7 as an urgent indicator of potential misfire, catalytic converter stress, or severe fuel/ignition faults that can cause immediate engine damage. A flashing light typically means the engine is running poorly and continued driving risks costly secondary damage — for example, unburned fuel can overheat and ruin the catalytic converter, turning a simple ignition repair into a four-figure repair. Our certified BMW technicians perform a prioritized diagnostic using OEM-grade tools to identify misfire codes, fuel trims, and turbocharger parameters specific to the ALPINA B7. We explain findings in plain language, provide transparent pricing, and review warranty implications; remember, warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Take advantage of our service financing options and seasonal service specials to manage cost. If your check engine light is flashing, do not delay — schedule service online now for immediate evaluation and peace of mind.
