Drivetrain Malfunction

Need help!!!

Since 15-June, about every two weeks, I will get a "drivetrain malfunction, drive moderately consult service center" message.

I turn my engine off and restart the engine after 5mins and everything appears to be fine.

I have reviewed the following:

Acceleration: no problem with speed or passing cars.

Engine: engine doesnt idle roughly or shut off prematurely nor have issues starting the car.

Service: I service my car every 6000 miles. Last time it was service was 08-June.

I took my car into the BMW service in Portchester and they ran diagnostics, in which they couldn't find any issues. They ask me if I had recently filled my tank and I acknowledge so as I did fill my tank the previous day.

I was filling my tank with Gulf premium gas and change from Gulf to Mobil to Shell V-Nitro premium b/c Gulf is not a top-tier gas provider.

I got the error with the Mobil and V-Nitro Shell gas.

Do you think that gas can cause the drivetrain. Malfunction issue?

Only reason I'm asking is because I filled my tank this morning (7/18) and the error appeared again.

Thanks
