How often should I come in for BMW 325i differential service?

What causes a 325i’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 325i's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.
