Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2026 BMW 8 Series 840i signals an active misfire or other severe condition that can damage the catalytic converter and lead to costly repairs if not addressed immediately. At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston we treat flashing lights as high priority: our technicians will perform a rapid, factory-accurate scan to identify misfire codes, inspect ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, and the exhaust system. If towing is necessary, we can arrange safe transport to our Boston facility. Because a continued drive can increase damage and cost, taking swift action preserves long-term value and reduces overall expense. We back work with OEM parts and BMW-certified warranties—repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2026 BMW 8 Series 840i Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2026 BMW 8 Series 840i include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171 (system too lean), P0442 (evap small leak), and P0135 (O2 sensor heater circuit). Left unresolved, misfires (P0300) can overheat and destroy the catalytic converter—an expensive repair—while a P0420 ignored can mean reduced fuel efficiency, failed emissions inspections, and eventual converter failure. A lean condition like P0171 can accelerate engine wear and raise fuel costs. Small EVAP leaks may seem minor but can lead to recurring drivability and emissions issues. At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston our BMW-certified technicians diagnose codes with OEM tools, provide transparent estimates, and recommend the most cost-effective repairs to protect performance. Using OEM parts and dealership expertise often results in immediate and long-term savings compared with repeated independent repairs.
