Car: 2012 X3 35i with 50k miles.

Car parked for two weeks. Started it up and drove about 30 miles. Car runs fine with no check engine light. Stopped to get a quick meal for 10 mins.
Pressed the start button, it cranked but no start. And Drivetrain malfunction message pop up. After a few more tries without success, I let it sit for a couple hours. And still no start. Although it still have the original battery, voltage is good. It cranks very strong.

I have bimmerlink, I scanned it and it said

" Code 113027, Relay ignition and injectors, supply voltageinjection: line break"

and

" code 801C06 VcmErrorSvtGeneration-SVT Is Generation: SVT- Could Not Be Generated "

Hoped someone can give me some pointer where to start before I bring it to the dealer. I am pretty handy. Just replaced the water pump and thermostat six month ago. But X3 is still pretty new to me.

I just had the car towed back to my house now. Things that I learned right now is if you can't start the car, you can not get the car in neutral !!

Sounds like a fuel pump issue.

or the fuel pump fuse

Lol, did you even read the fault codes posted. None have anything to do with the fuel pump.

OP, your problem is either the injector relay or the DME. I would start by swapping the relay for a known good one and see if that solves your problem. If not you likely need a DME. I believe on your car the relay is internal and part of the IVM so you may need to replace the whole thing. The IVM is located near the brake master cylinder. Just look for a black box with lots of mostly red wires going to it in that location. Good luck and keep us posted please. Sorry I cannot help you more.

Barbera335,

Thank you for your thoughts, I did some research on IVM(it also know as ISM). Looks like a logical thing to do first since it is not that expensive.

I found it for $130.00 at pelican auto. But the site said not sure it fits my car even though it is the exact part #12637591534 from the back of the Part(I already pulled it out).

I am going to stop by a dealer to see what they say.

Wish me luck and hopefully it is the fix. will update here.

Update:

It is the IVM. The car start right up after the replacement.

From the back of the IVM that I pulled from my car shown 12637591534.

I searched realoem.com, It shows it is a correct # for my 2012 X3 with 12/2011 production.

When I tried check price from online, Pelican said special order for $123 but can not confirm if it will fit my 2012 X3, Same result from FCP.

Ended up went to dealer, Dealer said their computer said the correct part for my car is 12638645514 for $220. Just want to be sure, I went with the dealer.

I cross reference 12638645514 with realoem, I came back saying this is for 2014 and up X3. Weird right?!
