Why does the check engine light in my 740i turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your 740i firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why does my BMW engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your BMW 740i engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by 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 740i 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 accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my BMW 740i radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your 740i when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my 740i engine suddenly stop?
