I was loving my new 2011 535ix (especially after being tortured for the last three years with 4 HPFP failures on my 2008 and much fighting with the dealer who insisted that the problem was with the gas) and then it happened: "Drivetrain Malfunction. Maximum Drivetrain output not available Have the system checked by your Service Center". I limped on down to the closest dealer who checked it, found the error code as a random misfire in cylinder 6 and attributed it to perhaps some debris in a fuel injector and sent me on my way. Today, one week later, I went back to the dealer where I purchased to pick up my plates and when I pulled out of the dealership, again " Drivetrain Malfunction...". Here I go again...

Sorry to hear Marco545 :thumbsdown:
I have had no problems with my LCI E60 nor with the F10, but they are only 2wd's.
