Engine Q&A 2005 BMW 530i

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 530i? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your 530i firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are BMW 530i engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your BMW 530i engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my BMW 530i engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Is it okay to put water in my BMW 530i radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your 530i 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 530i engine suddenly stop? Your 530i car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
