Yesterday, on a 200 mile drive to Chicago, my 2014 328i M Sport went into limp mode while passing a car on the freeway.

I got a check engine light and drivetrain malfunction, now it drives like a Harley. I do not have factory warranty but not sure what to do. Will take it in to the dealer and see what they say, but I am not expecting much or just a rather large bill.

This is the 3rd time this has happened, first 2 times I just restarted the car and everything was back to normal. This time i did the same, put the car into sleep mode, let it sit over night and still nothing. FYI no tunes or mods except for MPE. I've been running Shell V Power 93 Octane and still.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions, this is my first (and possibly last) BMW and already having major issues on a relatively new car with less than 12k miles.

How come you don't have factory warranty on a 2014 car?

Branded title (theft)

You need to check the codes

Left it at the dealer earlier in the morning. Received a call about an hour ago telling me they want $199.95 to diagnose it. Should I just take it to AutoZone to have the code read? or is BMW specific that the dealer needs to do?

Also contemplating taking it to a shop that has a higher end diagnostic capabilities than AutoZone.

Update - Got a phone call from the dealer saying I need to replace Injector number 3, along with spark plug 3.

They quoted me with a $1100 bill.

Since now you know what is wrong with the car, get the injector online (check vendor section) and let your mechanic replace it for you.
Just make sure your mechanic knows how to code the injector

Hey hey it seems that it gets too common these days for injector 3 to get broken!

I post the same experience with my drive few weeks ago on Maintenance part of this forum.

Its such a random cylinder to get an issue. Interesting.
