What does it mean if the engine warning light comes on on the BMW 1 Series 118d?
Years 2004-2013

Answer

If the engine warning light comes on on the BMW 1 Series 118d, it is very likely that the car has also suffered a loss of power at the same time. In this case the problem concerns the particulate filter which is no longer able to regenerate itself because it is clogged. This is a very dangerous situation, which is why the car is in "degraded" mode to prevent more serious trouble from happening at full power. Call a tow truck right away and have it taken to the nearest garage.
