Why does my 740Li’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your 740Li testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my BMW 740Li making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your BMW 740Li engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on 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 740Li engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my BMW 740Li radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your 740Li 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.

What can cause the engine in my 740Li to suddenly stop?

Reasons your 740Li car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
