Drivetrain malfunction light

tigerinsc · 03-02-2018, 05:49 AM

Hello all. I have a 2012 528i with 98,000 miles. Have had the drivetrain light come on 4 separate times in the past 7 weeks. All 4 times, the car has lost power and I've pulled off the road. Turned off engine. Waited. Restarted and driven to dealership for service. Here are the work that has been completed and days in service.

1st: Software update: 1 day
2nd: Timing belt replacement: 9 days
3rd: Exhaust fan replacement: 2 days
4th: Turbochargers replacement: 10 days

My concern is that it is going to run out of the CPO warranty at 100,000 miles and the problem will persist.

Any insight is welcome

Thank you

Morning,
That doesn't sound good. You might have better luck on the non-M boards.
