2006 BMW X3 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my X3 turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your X3 testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my BMW X3 making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your BMW X3 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 can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my BMW X3 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 accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I put water in my BMW X3 radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my X3 to suddenly stop? Your X3 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
