I picked the car back up yesterday and I got 12 miles when I got another error saying "drivetrain malfunction" and back to BMW... they have now changed the injectors and the wiring harness and problem is still there. So they continue to go deeper into the engine to try and find the issues. I am just glad I have 8 months of warranty remaining. But not a great experience for my first BMW and I have only driven it 12 miles without an error showing up!
These errors are actually pretty typical for the N63 and S63 motors. It is indeed what BMW is trying to fix, ignition coils injectors and harnesses. Easily thousands of dollars if you were to do it outside of warranty.
