Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 330i?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your 330i testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are BMW 330i engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your BMW 330i engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my BMW 330i engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I add water to my BMW 330i radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your 330i radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

Why did my 330i engine suddenly stop?
