I've been dealing with this problem for about two months now. I have a 2014 335xi. Has 8000 miles on it.

They replaced the vanos, software patches, even a patch to address the error light being thrown too quickly. When it happens, I get a series of behaviors from normal operation to limp mode, to shifting oddly.

It has only happened to me on a cold engine and so far it has only happened during the cold of winter.

Dealer has had it three times and I'm still getting it.

My understanding is this message is the equivelant of a "check engine" light, meaning, it can be anything. I'm personally under the belief this is more of a software issue, but regardless it is impacting my ownership and enjoyment of the vehicle. Reading all these posts is not making me feel any better either.
