F30 ActiveHybrid3 Drivetrain Malfunction

Smengini · 10-13-2020, 06:11 PM

2014 F30 ActiveHybrid3 felt like it sputtered a little on the highway then the drivetrain malfunction message popped up and I only had about a quarter power. Start/stop deactivated itself and it shuttered the rest of the ride home, felt like it was gonna stall a few times. Anyone know what I'm looking at?

*also smells like gasoline at times*

Turned it off and tried to start again and it cranked for a good 3-4 seconds before kicking over and slowly starting I to a slow sputter, then the rpm's increased on their own I'm assuming to keep it running.

I posted snapshots of the errors that came up in BimmerLink when I plugged it in. I'm not a mechanic, have no idea what I'm looking at. Any help is appreciated.

I'm facing a similar problem with my 2013 ah3
I've got a bm3 file on it and recently whenever I go WOT in sport+ it throws up a drivetrain error message and limits power. I have to turn the vehicle off and restart it for the message to go away. I diagnosed it today and I'll attach the errors. Does anyone know what could be wrong or what I would need to do to fix this issue?
