Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Alpina B7 xDrive?

Can you clear the Alpina B7 xDrive check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

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.
