Christmas in July-Check Engine Light @1,600 miles

So terribly disappointed and upset, check engine light came on today on my Sunday drive at 1,600 miles. Barely had the car. Has this happened to anyone else on the forum with their 2020 M2 Comp? And, what was the outcome? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.

Don't sweat it man until you know why it came on. Plus, you have a warranty.
My 2018 now has 62K miles and no extended warranty.

And I was told that based on my oil filter that I should do a proactive rod bearing replacement (which I'm not going to do)

Plus, I'm on furlough - perspective bro.

A quick update, after the dealer service tech put approximately 25 miles on the vehicle, diagnosed misfired spark plug. Spark plug replaced, no more engine light.

I think the spark plug was the band-aid - the coil is the permanent fix.
