I'm dealing with the same "Drivetrain Malfunction" error on my 11-day old 328xi after putting 700 miles on it (took a bit of a roadtrip this weekend). The error came up when I put the car into reverse to parallel park. Car went into limp mode. Turned it off, waited a while, turned it on but still had the error.

I was able to drive it to the Service Center. Their initial diagnosis was that it was a cylinder misfire. Now they're telling me that the Vanos Solenoid has to be replaced, and that there's one more test that they have to do when the car is cold to see if anything else needs to be done.

It goes without saying that I'm a little upset that this is happening on my first BMW.
