Stay Ahead of the Curve: Tips for Avoiding Costly BMW Drivetrain Repairs

A drivetrain malfunction error code is triggered in your BMW, and the onboard computer diagnoses a problem with the powertrain components in your vehicle. The powertrain consists of all the parts on your car that help your vehicle move. When one or more of those components fail to work as they should, the car's onboard computer can trigger a drivetrain malfunction. In addition to the warning on your dashboard, the vehicle will switch to safety mode. You'll still be able to drive the car for a short distance, but you find the drive strain has disengaged. First, turn your car off for 5 to 10 minutes to reset the drivetrain malfunction error code temporarily. You should then be able to turn your engine back on and dive to the nearest BMW shop to have the issue repaired. You may find that the drivetrain malfunction error was caused by low-quality fuel. If you fill up with high-quality fuel, the issue should resolve itself. While this is a simple fix, the horror can be caused by a more severe problem such as issues with the catalytic converter.
