Hard to say without knowing what caused it. It could be anything from a loose gas cap to a misfire. Take it to the dealership or at the very least scan it yourself and find out what the fault code is.

Hmm, yeah, so if the check engine light came on in a car I just dropped $55k on, I'd be taking it in at least to have the code read.
+1 on the gas cap comment above. At least check that first. |

That seems like absolute insanity, although i guess if the motor grenades they will deal with it under warranty...

Same thing happened to me saturday. I picked up my '18 LCI Oct. 12, have ~300 miles on the car now. I gave her a bath on saturday, started her up and got a CEL. Still hasn't gone away, checked gas cap, and car runs fine. Called service, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Autozone couldn't pull the code, since the car isn't in their system.

I got a light that cleared after a day. It was a misfire on one of the cylinders. Car went into a truly ugly limp mode. It cleared up next time I fired it up. I took it to the dealer and their book said clear code, drive for 10 miles and if it doesn't reoccur, give car back to customer.
I had a P304 that I was able to read with my phone. http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1416662

Same Light Came on Again around 2300 miles.
I already had the break in service done at 1270 miles. Now the car has around 2300 miles and the CEL cam on again. Last time it was gone in couple of days. Its been two days now. I have a long drive this weekend. Is it worth taking the risk to drive on.

My check engine light lit up yesterday while I was putting around in rush hour traffic. I'm taking it in to the dealer later today. Also, the day before yesterday my idrive screen reset while I was driving. The car hasn't felt different bit it's all a little unsettling. I've done the run in service already and I'm at just under 1300mi.

I got it back yesterday and per my SA it was just an engine misfire. The light had already turned off when i was on my way to take it to the dealer and so far no other issues.

Light came on the third time at around 3000 miles
The car is at the dealer from past two days. getting the diagnostic done and spark plugs and coils being checked. they couldn't figure out the problem yet.
