Hi All,
Took delivery 7/26/10. Obeyed the break-in rules obsessively and am an all-around fairly conservative driver.
8,400 miles and Car "bings" and says "Engine Malfunction: Reduced Power. Engine restart not possible after stop. Drive directly to the nearest BMW Service Center or stop safely and call BMW Assist."
I obeyed it and drove straight there. The advisor was doubtful and told me it was probably just a problem with the remote control. He shut it off, and found out that the car was not lying...restart was not possible.
This was Thursday morning, and in the normal BMW shroud of secrecy i've been told very little, and that a motor related to the cam shaft was likely the issue and the part would be here Tuesday and they would want to keep it to drive for a few days after that.
An entire week? I don't have a good feeling. Anyone else heard of/experienced this?
Thanks.
