    Ignition coils, spark plugs, and pcv valve breathers may need to be checked, as well as a tune up too. Thats what i was educated on with my BMW and I confirmed with a OBD Scan too. Once i addressed and replaced them, it went away and hasnt shown up again. 💯

    Ok so I have a 2015 M4 with about 68k miles and I was driving my car and was backing into my garage and the drivetrain malfunction light came on when I was reversing into my garage so should I be worried? And is it cool to drive it?

    Had this problem today with my 2014 328i. I was driving like normal and all of a sudden, she jerked like crazy and the error showed up.but kept goin. I pulled over stopped the engine, turned it back on. Error was gone. I had a little less than quarter tank of gas. Just as I was getting to the gas station literally stalled in the middle of the intersection about 4 times. Barley made it to the gas pump. After filling her up she was fine. But the problem may be in the gas tank, there are these little floats that measure the gas in the tank. Sometimes one of them gets stuck and won't properly measure the amount of gasoline in the tank. I just ran out of gas. Fuel pump may need to be replaced. Or both fuel pump and gas tank all together. But like you said it could be a hundred other things. Hope this helped love. And I hope you can find what the problem is soon.❤

      I have the same with my F32 435i man, i fixed all oil leaks, cleaned both the vanoses, changed oil (Castrol Full Synsetic W05-30) and still have the problem when i’m accelerate hard. I’m thinking maybe to change the oil pump but it’s expensive and i don’t know if that’s the problem is. Very annoying

    Had the same thing 2 times prior. Once it died on me in standstill traffic with that on- and I got it restarted & it needed a bunch of 💩 to be repaired. Today it came on again- turned it off…. It seems to have gone away. Idk - I’m getting so pissed w this light/message 😭

      Basically whoever had the car before you did not take care of it, you shouldn't be looking for advice on youtube for smoking coming from your car. Should go straight to mechanic. I have same engine as you in my 2015 328i I'm at almost 80k and it runs fine. Are you putting 93 octane and changing oil every 5k miles ?

      The dealer said it was a bad transmission , the car has been returned. I’ve seen lots of the x6 competition up for sale at such a low mileage, I’m assuming the x6 is not a reliable car for the price. @@mrpayola4466

      Seems like your car went into limp mode after the fuel ran out. After idling the car for 5-10 minutes it may still appear. Once you start driving for a bit the message should go away regarding “ drivechain malfunction “

    Had this happen to me in my 2018 x5 xdrive35i. Had low oil pressure resulting in my engine seizing up from letting it warm up. When I returned to my car it was not running and would not start. $18,000 for a new engine.
