Likely the same issue?
I have a 2013 X3 2.8 and it seems like I have the very same issue. A while back the drivetrain malfunction error would only come on when I was on a long road trip where I'd been in the mountains, etc, but now it comes on after driving for about 10-20 miles or so and it's consistent.
BMW service says it is a "low turbo pressure fault" and I need to replace the turbo charger @ $6492 (but they'll do it for $6000). Apparently breaking down the turbo isn't something they do (no al le carte). My intuition is that they haven't really diagnosed the problem, but it's hard to know, the communication is really sub-par.
Recommendations? Should I take it to another mechanic and get a second opinion (who specializes in BWMs and can break down the turbo)? or let BMW service repair handle it? Thoughts?
Thank you!
Shane
