2023 BMW M4 Check Engine Light Codes

The check engine light codes on a 2023 BMW M4 can range from simple alerts like a loose fuel cap to serious codes indicating misfires, turbo boost control faults, or catalytic converter inefficiencies. Common codes include misfire (P0300-series), oxygen sensor faults (P0130-series), and turbocharger boost control issues. Left unattended, a misfire can damage the catalytic converter and lead to repair costs that escalate from a single ignition coil replacement to a full exhaust system repair. Oxygen sensor failures degrade fuel economy and emissions, increasing fuel costs and risking failed inspections. At Nalley BMW of Decatur in Decatur, GA, our factory-trained technicians use BMW-specific diagnostic tools to read and interpret these codes precisely. We explain the cost and operational impact of each code and recommend repairs that minimize lifetime ownership expense. Our certified service often costs less than independent shops when you factor in reduced repeat repairs, OEM parts longevity, and warranty protection. For convenience and to keep your 2023 BMW M4 performing as designed, schedule service and ask about current service specials.
