I just paid nearly $800 for BMW in Rockland MA to address/fix this issue (Drivetrain Malfunction/Chassis Stabilization warning) on my 2014 X3. The car would not go over 40mph and could have caused a major accident in heavy traffic... After almost 2 days of "researching" the issue I was told that they "found the carpet by the accelerator pedal wet" (They car has weatherguard floor mats). They apparently sprayed water on the car to see if there was a leak. Apparently no leak. So, they removed and replaced the gas pedal. ($177.29) and charged $571.49 in LABOR charges. I dont think this has anything to do with simple cold weather but some software bug they can probably clear in a few minutes.
I have really had it with all the electronic issues with BMW's that are not covered by my still in place "Certified Pre Owned" agreement... an $800 service charge for this "bug" should be part of a full recall!!
