Drivetrain malf. BMS
I got a drivetrain malfunction error when I installed my BMS Stage 1. Here's how stupid I am- I installed it, forgot to connect the Juicebox, rolled about 10 FT in reverse, saw the warning and shutoff the engine. After realizing my stupidity, I attached the JB portion (why was it even off???) and the warning went away. The CEL light is still on the dash, though.
1. Did I do any damage? 2. Will the CEL go off on its own? If not can I clear it?

You will probably still have an error code logged and you need to clear that before next BMW service

What is a BT cable? Do I need to hook up a computer? How is it used?

Thanks mcuh for the reply. So, I can really allow the dealer to remove the code if need be? I don't believe I have any coders in my area unless I drive over to ATL, but then it becomes a $1,500+ trip when the wife hits Phipps Plaza.

Can the stage 2 give the F30 an error code that will constantly appear unless uninstalled?

What happened to me was the malfunction came out when I removed it for servicing, and went away by itself... |

There is no guarantee that there are no error codes or shadow codes unless you scan and delete. Or, you have stage 2 which has code clearing functionality
