I've had the 2011 BMW x5d since it was 3 years old. Love the m57 engine, incredibly reliable, efficient, and smooth. Exterior and interior are in amazing shape. So when the check engine light came on I was willing to spend some money on it to address the problem.
One by one the emission system was looked into starting with the thermostat failing open and keeping the engine too cool to initiate dpf regeneration. This led to the dpf becoming clogged, egr failure was blamed on age. No egr codes until after other repairs had already been completed. I would've never started the repair process had I known the end cost. An independent shop did their best but I think they were in over their head and didn't have the full picture before they started. By the time we saw the end price we were so far in I would've been out all the previous costs on repairs that were leading towards the overall fix. Intake manifold carbon cleaning Thermostat Water pump New DPF New EGR cooler, egr valve, and lines (Items above were to get rid of the check engine light. In a state with emission and vehicle inspections. Entire exhaust and emission system had to be replaced.) Harmonic balancer Rear air suspension Rear brakes Transmission, and differential fluid service Heater core coolant control valve ....thinks that's it for recent work. All completed around 130,000 miles. |

Right, Porsche, Land Rover, Jag, egads, no one has the sheer amount of time it takes to go through their build site and configure your car, I mean right down to the color of the stitches on the seats or steering wheel. BMW does a pretty good job of it, the American brands have the absolute worst config sites.

Update. After 6.5 weeks the parts arrived to repair the battery pack cooling issue. News from the service department after the repair was completed on July 14 a new error is now reporting for a fault in the HV Battery Pack. So, our X5 is sill inoperative. Pretty disappointing!

I am in the same situation with my brand new 2024 X5 xDrive50e. I’m at less than 300 miles and encountered the same error message “drivetrain malfunction” having to have my car extracted from parking structure then dragged into a flat bed and transferred back to dealership. It’s been since July 4th and I still do not know what the problem is.

This error came up for me too at 445 miles but I was able to still drive it to destination. After turning car off, going in the gym, then coming out, the message was gone like nothing happened. Dealer advised I should be fine for now since there was no record of it in my control system error log… I’m in a MY24 X60 40i, btw. Almost at 1000 miles now and haven’t had it come up again… fingers crossed. |

I too have the drivetrain issue with my 24 X5 M60i. I’m currently 550 miles from home on a family road trip with about 800 miles on the odometer. Dealer I took it to is telling me that that it needs a new transfercase. We are heading out tomorrow, from Nashville to Chicago and looks like I’m gonna have to leave vehicle here and rent a car and hope that my vehicle gets shipped back home to Michigan.

I had the same drivetrain malfunction message during the first week after I got my car. They couldn't reproduce it at the BMW dealership in SF and said that everything was normal.
I also told them that on gas-only, the engine behaves really weirdly. It revs up to very high RPM in the first and second gear for the first few 40-50 yards after a full stop, and the shifting is not smooth at all. It's so noticeable that everyone who drove with me asked me if this was normal. BMW in SF said it is, but I don't quite trust them. Does anybody else have this "high RPM in first two gears after a full-stop" issue on gas-only? |

Update on our three week old 2024 X5 M60i with Drivetrain malfunction. Our vehicle is stuck at Nashville, Tn dealer. We had to rent a vehicle to get back home to Michigan. Latest update we’ve received is that after several back and forth communications from dealer and BMW NA with failing diagnostic tests is that they want the dealer to replace the control module for the Transfercase short of changing out the Transfercase at this time. Problem is there are no control modules in the US or Germany to be installed in our three week old vehicle. Further, if that doesn’t correct the issue Transfercase will have to be replaced. Looking at a long interval without our brand new $100k plus vehicle.
The kicker is this was our boat tow vehicle. So now, can’t use our boat. Obviously very frustrated.

I’d be looking into lemon laws in your state. BMW USA should, at the very least, pay for your rental and provide some $ compensation.

I have the same problem. I also had the message and then it disappeared. Also my shifting comming from a full stop is not smooth. It is like the car is holding back. I did not notice this shifting problem in the beginning, but after i got the message. Maybe this is in my head |

Update: We made it home yesterday evening to Michigan. Have to return the rental car today, so we’ll be down a vehicle. I reached out to local Dealer where I purchased and I’m waiting to hear back. Also, reached out yesterday again to BMW na and our case worker hasn’t gotten back to us. Obviously won’t have a vehicle for going to work on Monday. On a mellow positive note, I received word yesterday, Friday, from Nashville service manager that they did locate the module in Iowa and should receive it and install it by midweek this upcoming week. So, hopefully this corrects the issue with my vehicle. Then have to work on getting it shipped up to Michigan. If it doesn’t fix it then I guess looking at a further wiring issue as some have suggested or new transfer case with unknown timeline.

Same error message on X5 50e: New transmission needed
Got the same message last Wednesday on my X5 50e after 500km's.
Dealership just called me that the electric module of the transmission doesn't react anymore. They contacted BMW this morning with the feedback to swap the complete transmission.. Sucks, but apparently it's easier to swap the complete transmission instead of only the electric modules |

Indeed, apparently this faulty EME created a whole bunch of errors in the other BUS units, which made the root cause hard to find.
Glad they just got approval from BMW to just change the whole gearbox to mitigate the risk of happening it again. |
