Check engine light just came on. Just worried that I might of caused this from driving my car in manual mode a lot. Is it dangerous for the car to drive in manual mode a lot?

    Driving in manual mode atleast on my 2013 328i put it in sport mode. If it puts it in sport it’s more strain on the engine reguardless because the turbo is staying spooled to be more responsive. If your shifting at normal rpm’s like 3k or so then it shouldn’t matter to much but it mainly depends on how you drive.

    Just get it scanned and figure out why the check engine light is on…
    I’d invest in a good scan tool… that way you’ll have a good idea of why that light is on rather than assumptions on the internet
