I own a 09 535i and recently got a check engine light with engine malf reduce power.
I stopped the car and restarted it which did the trick and went away.
To make sure everythin was alright took it to a dealer and have them check it out.
They told me that they dont see any code of it and it might of fixed itself.
Is that even possible??
