I have a 2024 BMW X5 50e. I live in Orange County, California, and last week I went on a golf trip to Las Vegas with my spouse. The next day, while returning to the hotel after playing golf, the Drivetrain Malfunction message came on and the car started shaking. And the car's drive mode automatically changed to electric. I parked my car on the side of the road, found a nearby BMW dealer, and drove for 15 minutes to get it done at the dealer. The dealer said it would take 3-4 weeks (due to no parts in the USA and parts (dealer did not told me what exact problem is...) had to be delivered from Germany ??) to repair the car, so we rented a car and returned home to California. For reference, my X5 50e is nearly new and only had 900 miles at the time. In fact, I am very disappointed and I am still waiting for the situation and hope that it will be fixed as soon as possible. Please let me know if anyone has the same issue. I don't know what to do except wait.

Sorry for your troubles. It seems to be an ongoing issue. Someone will link the thread. I am waiting for a '25 50e and hoping they resolved these issues.

Did they let you know what the issue is recently?

I’ve had a similar issue, the message came up overnight, however, when I turned the car off and back on it went away. I got a reminder message about it today, but there were no issues such as shaking. Taking it in to dealer today.

Experiencing a drivetrain malfunction on a nearly new BMW X5 50e with only 900 miles can indeed be frustrating and unexpected. While waiting for the repair, it's essential to stay in touch with the dealer for updates and to ensure that the issue is thoroughly addressed. While it's not uncommon for parts to need to be ordered from the manufacturer, the lengthy wait time can understandably be disappointing. In the meantime, documenting your communication with the dealer and BMW customer service can help ensure that any further issues are addressed promptly and that you receive appropriate compensation or assistance for the inconvenience. Hopefully, the repair process will be expedited, and your X5 will be back on the road soon. I hope it does help you.

I can also share another website with you where you will find reviews of that website. Just let me know, if you want to read their reviews or not. I have already read their reviews and mostly all of them are good.

Sad situation, sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately it is common on the 50e, dealers take for ever to fix, and sometimes it is a persistent problem. I would rather get a 40i if reliability is important. .

And is it tends to be happen during first few k miles?

My 24 had one at approximately 2600 miles. It was nothing like the one described in the previous post. The issue presented when I tried to start it in a parking lot. It wouldn’t start in any mode and was stuck in park. I believe this message can appear for different reasons.
