Update:
After 2 months at BMW service center and more BS excuses day after day than even Hillary Clinton can come up with, I have experienced the Drivetrain Malfunction 3 more times since picking up the car from the service center on July 3. Very disappointing, but not surprising at this point. The service center replaced the entire fuel delivery system, one DME bank, both cats and O2 sensors, spark plugs and two wiring harnesses. They openly admitted that they don't know what is causing this major safety problem.
Of course I don't have any confidence whatsoever in the car's safety or reliability and BMW NA claims they are reviewing "resolution options" and have asked for my financing details of which I have provided a few weeks ago. So far no word back from BMW NA.
In the interim I've acquired a new 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S which has consoled my otherwise depressed state of being.
Since January the repair bills related to the drivetrain malfunction error have totaled over $20,000, and because the cats and O2 sensors get damaged BMW was forced to cover most of this bill under the emissions warranty.
Personally I'm convinced the root of problem lies in the DMEs themselves, but I can't prove it outright. Just my own feelings based on the cumulative experience thus far.
I guess eventually BMW will get tired of paying for new cats, fuel pumps and injectors OR God forbid someone get injured or killed, then perhaps I'll get a buyback offer from BMW.
At any rate DON'T LET BMW of Gwinnett (N. Atlanta) service your car for this error. They clearly lack the resources and talent to work on M6 cars at this level.
