Check engine light?
 

My CEL is on display on my dashboard, but when I check the vehicle status in iDrive, it says all systems are ok. Any thoughts on this? This happened while I was on my way down from the mountains early this afternoon. I left to head up there this morning for half a day of skiing, and everything was fine on the way up. It turned on while coming home.

EDIT: Appt made for Mon 12/14; fault codes detected and noted on page 3, post #28.
EDIT: Car taken in today (12/14) - my SA called and they are replacing 2 or the car's 6 injectors. They don't have the parts in stock, but he said he is ordering the parts from BMW overnight for delivery tomorrow morning. I will get another update tomorrow afternoon.

When did you fill up last time ? I suggest checking gas cap.

Happened to me couple of weeks ago, happened to be loosely screwed gas cap.

I had a check engine light on my diesel for 3 months waiting on an air temp. sensor. Mine also checked okay with the I drive. Sounds like you need to take it to the dealer. I waited 5 weeks for my fuel line heater to be replaced. Taking it in tomorrow. I had to call BMWNA both times to get the parts shipped to fix my vehicle. This last time, I've asked BMW to purchase my vehicle back. They called back 5.5 hours later to let me know they located a part for my vehicle and it would be at my dealer in two days. I find this unacceptable to have to call BMW every time I need a part ordered for my vehicle. Let us know if you have the same experience with your diesel. Also, let us know what the dealer finds when they hook your car up to their computer.

Hope you have better luck than I've had with mine...

Same here. Air temp sensor. But mine was fixed in a day.

I woke up to the same thing this morning. Taking her in tomorrow. How many miles do you have? I just hit 1700.

I'm at about 1400 or so. It wasn't the gas cap.
I don't have time now to take it to the dealer, but I do have a BT scanner. I'll try and check it out tonight.

I tried the gas cap too. I'll let you know what they tell me tomorrow.

Let us know what they come up with...

Just curious,

Craig

I will. I'm curious too. I'm thinking it must be some faulty part the X5 and X6 share for both jaax3 and me to have the same issue with so few miles.

I have the diesel, and mine was a air temp. sensor.

I hope it's something minor...

Good luck,

Craig
