Why does the check engine light come on when I start my M5?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your M5 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my BMW M5 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your BMW M5 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have 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 M5 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Is it okay to put water in my BMW M5 radiator?

What can cause a M5 engine to suddenly stop?
