Never summer don't get too comfortable about that error...here I am a year later with the second drivetrain malfunction. I've actually gotten the message earlier but the error message went away. It probably happened a handful of time before I took it in yesterday. The first time it happened, the error message never went away. This time it would, so I ignored it, until 3 days ago it started shaking hard. I didn't even push it or put It in ultra sport mode. This time did feel like it shook much harder then the first time that it happened. This seems to be a common problem for the 650..I have cousins with the m6 and they never had this issue. I have another cousin with a 650 and he has had the same error. I think the scariest thing about this error is the feel that the car is locking up on you...I hope they don't try to hide this, and someone gets in an accident from this..

Well, I got my car back yesterday, and she seems to be healthy again... maybe a bit stronger than before (could be a placebo effect), but I am happy with the fact that my car is doing what it is meant to do, go fast.
My SA told me that cylinders 5 and 6 were not firing properly, so they made the needed repairs, along with just wrapping up my service with new brake fluid and fresh injectors. Hopefully the Drive train error will never come accross my screen again, but from reading what a lot of you had to say, it would seem to be simply a matter of time before she will be limping back to the sercive center at some point.

Driving home on Saturday, with the wife and both kids in the car, on the highway, got the dreaded Drivetrain Malfunction. Oddly, didn't kick to limp mode, but shuddered like mad. Pretty clearly in the transmission part of the train, but felt like a cylinder misfire. RPMs held steady, no problem there. Restart cleared it, and drove to the Port Chester service center to drop off just an hour before they closed. They're checking it now.

I also got this problem on my 11 550i
Did plenty of research and yes its all in the fueling / injectors. First time it happened, I didnt know any better, no errors just motor going crazy and then like it never happened, and it would happen every so often after Id get on it, so finally, drove it hard and it started to do it, went to the dealer straight, SA felt the misfiring as soon as he turned the car on, so car was in about 3 days and they updated the software, and replaced 4 spark plugs, and 6 injectors, and left 2 stock ones .... soooo car ran amazing for about a week, I was driving home from work and after an hour drive, almost home an empty stretch of highway opens up ... i hit it, and at about 130+ the car falls flat on its face, drivetrain mal message comes up, and as im slowing down and what not, message disappears and no where to be found. This happened about 2-3 weeks ago, but I have been so in love with my car that I dont yet want to drop it off at the dealer and be without it for half a week lol, but I soon will have to before warranty starts to go. Car doesnt shake or runs as rough as the first time, which leads me to believe the 2 stock injectors they left gave out. from my understanding it happens to 2010-early 2013 N63 engines =/

I did get an X3 as a loaner, luckily they had one so schlep the kids in.
They reprogrammed the computer, and replaced the 2nd bank of injectors (1st bank was done ~4 months ago). Hopefully the replacements take care of things. |

I hope I never have to visit the dealer again for the same problem ever. Plus, my car just got into an accident, so trade-in value is going to be a joke. Hopefully, it will run problem free well after its warranty is over. |

My car went dead and had to be towed away. They replaced the fuel pump relay and control unit. It has worked well since. But knock on wood... Last edited by hellonwheels; 09-20-2014 at 02:06 PM.. |

Sorry to hear that, I just thought it might be the issue with gas quality in the States.

Sorry you are going though such a let down. I hope it does work out so they lemon the car, and you end up driving away in something you can enjoy for years to come.
