Why does the check engine light in my X5 turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your X5 firing up 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 X5 making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your BMW X5. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. 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 X5 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my BMW X5 radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your X5 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause a X5 engine to suddenly stop?
