Plesae help - Drivetrain Malfunction message

Got a Drivetrain Malfunction message 2x tody. Both 2x's turn the car off and it went away. It started happening 1 1/2 hour after adding gas (tank was a half when adding) and car wash. When the message comes one the engine feel like it struggling. I had the car OBD2 scanned and all system came back normal (no codes) any clue? I currently have 27k on the car.

I have a good friend that is a tech for BMW that only charge me $140 for the spark plug. Software and plugs are not covered under warranty.
