2022 BMW X3 — check-engine light turned itself off — still scan it?

2022 BMW X3 M40i, about 41,000 miles. The light was on for two days and then disappeared before I could schedule service. Car feels normal. Is there still likely to be useful stored or pending data if I scan it now? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2022 BMW X3, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. No need to make it theatrical. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Two 2022 BMW X3s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “check-engine light turned itself off — still,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'll poke at it this weekend.
