Drivetrain Issue after hand washing car.

Infernis · 08-28-2023, 01:55 AM

Hello XMers

Pulled out of the carwash place and it threw druvetrain error. Only electric avaliable.

Had to restart the car. Is this similar to issues others are facing?

Once restarted the car drive fine on both modes.

Happened again later that day.

I really really love this car. I hope it's nothing serious..

I have 6k on the clock. 86% of AUG drive is electric.

Attached some pics. No sure how to proceed...

I have the same issue. Pulled into the parking lot. Tried to backup, but got the drivetrain issue. The message says only an electric drive available. Zero battery, 331 miles of gas but car is stuck halfway out in the parking lot. Asked two person to help push the car into the parking lot. waited for 30 minutes. Finally car reset itself and was able to drive back home.

Please let me know, what BMW said and how they fixed your car.
