Hi
No it wont cause any dammage, all that will happen is the system will reset, although not knowing the circumstances for the reason of the engine managment light being on may not possibly reset it and turn it off, unless what ever caused it has been repaired, most of the time, to reset the engine managment light you will have to get an OBD tool to do this.
hope this helps

SOURCE: my 2006 bmw 750li is showing transmission fault

hi, this could be your battery loosing voltage, check it with a volt meter to see if it reads between 12v - 12.5 v if it is low it might need replacing, you could also check your alternator to see if it is charging correctly you will find your car will be stuck in either 3rd or 4th gear ( limp home mode ) hope this helps please vote thanks

SOURCE: where do i put the brake fluid on a 2006 750LI BMW

The brake master cylinder is under the microfilter housing on the driver side of the car under the hood. Grab the housing at the side closest to the fender and lift straight up with a little force. Then pull the housing toward you. Then you can see the resevoir.

2006 750li passenger defrost not working

BMW defroster works on vacumm so if you have air blowing from the dash vents when the seclector is on A/C and when on bi-leval the air comes out of the dash vents and the floor vents then you have a vacumm leak most likely a vacumm hose is off, Or due to the age of the car the engine heat causes the hoses to crack and break. the BMW V-8 engine has a problem with the rubber holder for the PCV valves cracking and leaking that causes very low vacumm pressure also check all of the vacumm lines that go through the fire wall most likely your problem is just a disconnected or broken vacumm hose or the PCV valve holders.
