Drivetrain malfunction club

Adam, sorry to hear about your problem. It shouldn't happen on a flagship 100K+ BMW. It sucks. How many miles do you have?

I usually start driving within 30 seconds. I also read that warming up is unnecessary and maybe even harmful. I suspect carbon deposits. Waiting and idling is also bad for the engine and environment.

Adam, if you don't mind posting the mileage on your car would you please.

This thread makes me worry. I have 17K on my 750Li and had a check engine light, but I was messing with the pedal box.

So I turned it off, turned the car off, restarted and the light was gone.
