Drivetrain Fault. Performance may be limited.

My sept 2017 M4, 3k miles, had this Drivetrain Fault warning come up thrice now but not latch. It self-cleared all three times. Took it to dealers and they've said they need to replace the coolant pump or something. Anyway, the dealership has had it nearly two days and still no word back. I've been given a brand new (196 miles on the clock) 630 Diesel GT Xdrive as a loaner. Nice car. Smooth. So economical and quiet compared to the M4, but £55k? Hmmm maybe not for me.

Any more drivetrain issues coming up as I seem to have read a few others suffering similar issues. ??

Was driving at approximately 30mph the first time, 50mph second time and the last time it was at 60 mph just in normal traffic flow each time. I could understand it if i'd been on a track, or pushing the car hard, but each time it was in very easy driving. Anyway, BMW sent the wrong part out on Friday so it wasn't fixed. Will have to wait until Monday eve to pick the car up again.

I'm going on the 18th to the dealership to see what's what.

Its the auxiliary cooling pump. They just replaced it and all is good again. Picked the car up last night and no faults so far. Will go have a play in the small amount of snow we have today and see if I can provoke it a little.
