Hey y’all. I’m driving a 2013 bmw 550Xi. I was on my way to town when my check engine light started flashing and all of a sudden I got the DTM notification and car started hesitating. I pulled over to see if turning off the car and back on would be of any luck. Didn’t do anything, luckily I had...

I did a oil change on my BMW f10. I've done a oil change before but as I was on the freeway and started merging I receive a drivetrain malfunction. I did not think much of it until I started climbing uphill and the car would not put out power. I went on for another half a mile and get Oil...

Ok so drivetrain malfunction popped up again this time it wouldn’t go away with turning my car off then turning it back on so I called a tow. tow dropped my car off and I just noticed I literally have no gas. Only 14miles of drive time. Before the tow I had half a tank. So my question is can...

Hey gang, Call it impulse or whatever, but I purchased and installed the Turner Motorsport N55 Performance Module tonight. After carefully (and hopefully) doing it right, I immediately got the drivetrain malfunction message. Disconnected the battery for 30 minutes, came back, and then got a...

I owned my previous 4 series (428i) for the last 3 years. Loved it and had no problem using ALL "computer features" along w/ my Iphone. My lease ended and I leased a '19 430i 2 door coupe 5 days ago. On day ONE (SUNDAY, when Service is closed,) DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION warning came on, and it...

Long story short, brought my 650 GranCoupe n63tu into the dealer to repair DTM. After replacing numerous components, DTM never went away. For some reason technician still wanted to take it on a test drive and during the test drive the engine seized. Now I will be getting a "new remanufactured...

Hello all, I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this has been discussed before. I searched the posts and didn't find anything. I have a CPO 2014 X5 50i with the N63TU engine. I see that all the older variants of the N63 have been subject to a "quiet recall" but not the TU, presumably...
