How often will I need BMW 740i differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 740i?

Can my 740i malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
