Drivetrain malfunction

Bencun · 05-23-2020, 12:02 AM

2018 f80 m3. 2700kms I'm stuck on the side of the road awaiting the road side assist!!!!
The car was not the same since it had the 2000kn running in service done. Have anyone had similar issues?

Scan your codes, it'll help you determine what's wrong

Bencun · 05-23-2020, 12:19 AM

The road side assist guy didn't have the correct scanner for the car!!! And they arranging a tow truck!! What a shame and very frustrating to say the least!!!

All I know is that I got a drivetrain malfunction and it was a SCH

let’s pray that everything is okay, local here in SoCal I hear about these failures all the time lately, mine spun last Saturday

For car which is flagged to be a benchmark it is not living up to its name!!! I'm a bimmer fan. It this is just ridiculous!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ShoNufff · 05-23-2020, 03:19 PM

Were you able to scan it to see what codes it's throwing?

Bencun · 05-23-2020, 04:25 PM

Wasn't able to scan for codes!!! Not a good feeling!!

kmouze · 05-23-2020, 04:40 PM

Bummer, Folks. Hopefully its something small/trivial.

Bencun · 05-23-2020, 04:43 PM

I'll update when I get the some feed back from BMW. I'd say the software they uploaded on the 2k service was maybe done wrong!!! After that I had some issues where my red line changes from 7k rpm to 4.5k rpm even after the car was warmed up!!! It started happening after the service was done...

tomlong · 05-23-2020, 09:54 PM

I had a drivetrain malfunction and it turned out to be a faulty MAF sensor and leaking oem intercooler.

Don't succumb to the fear mongering.

Spun your crankhub. Tow to SSR asap and make a thread.

Doubt it will be a SCH because I don’t think he is in CA!

This just got me thinking, maybe 91 octane is the cause of SCH Lmaoo

Bencun · 05-26-2020, 08:14 AM

finally got some word that the car had a faulty side sensor which was than throwing out all other front end sensors!!!! should get it back on the road by Friday... otherwise the car checks out mechanically 100%... hope I don't have to go through this again.

A faulty side sensor?

Can you get an actual sensor name or ECU that faulted? The FEM for example.

That's really strange.

Bencun · 05-26-2020, 08:20 AM

I've asked for a detailed report when I get the car back, I did find it strange my self.

ShoNufff · 05-26-2020, 11:48 AM

That's awesome news man! Let us know what the detailed reports says.

CruzM3 · 05-26-2020, 11:54 AM

I feel your pain. I've been battling a drivetrain malfunction on my '18 M3 with only 6K mi. Whenever I get on it (not a kick down) it throws drivetrain malfunction and the engine runs rough. When I checked the codes it says that injector & cylinder#5 was shutdown. So far the dealer here in Germany has been great and they have replaced all injectors, spark plugs and done a upper cylinder cleaning. Still no luck solving the issue and my car is still at the dealer awaiting wiring bundle to arrive. I have faith they will figure out the issue as they are in contact with BMW engineering in Munich but hopefully they won't have to change the engine as I would like to take it on some road trips soon.
