i just had the same thing happen, SES light but nothing on idrive. turns out it was the VANOS solenoid and a camshaft solenoid. although i am not sure if those two things are one in the same?

alright went to autozone, i got it being coolant sensor or temp sensor. It said coolant temp was low but engine operating temp is within normal range. The code was also Pending. The only thing is i got both sensors replaced 3 months ago.
