this problem can be caused for many reasons
engine wiring problem
ignition coils malfuntion
spark plugs malfuntion
intake leak
turbo leak
low boost pressure
misfire on one mor multiple cylinders
injector failure
sensor failure
timing incorrect
defective or broken engine

Its crazy because even tho you have a strong accent while speaking english you still explain it really well and better than other people that speak english perfectly and make it all understandable! Thanks alot man ! 🤙🏼
This man here is the TH-cam G.O.A.T. of all DIY BMW repair channels, hands down.
The beginning is classically funny as hell. "You are worried about the car now and you don't think about your girlfriend anymore." Hilarious!!!
I had to send this to my wife.. "Babe you have to watch this for the first 2 min". lol
Happening to me Currently
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahahahahah
@@1repmax178 me too , that’s how I got here
Despite ur accent, u really know how to explain and put a sentence together in English . Well done.
This guy knows what he’s talking about thank you amigo amazing video
Best explanation I've heard yet
Couldn’t have explained this better and gave me a piece of mind. Thank you!
Love your videos Francisco. I had changed plugs and coils just at 70K on my 750LI and this warning came up about 2 months later. It turned out to be the high pressure fuel pump. BMW covered it a zero cost, FYI.
Interesting, had it not thrown a specific error for the HPFP though?
@@stephenpato5524 No I do have the iCarsoft tool and it indicated cylinder miss fires.
I'm dealing with this issue now and it's making my head spin. I just changed my water pump a cylinder am sensor. And you said it spot on because that's what I'm dealing with now I got hot with a 3k bill 😡 next I guess I gotta change the fuel pump
Great explanation
I have a BMW f10 550 it happens to me about six times. When I stop turn the car let sit for a few minutes it goes away
You just told me my life story with my BMW 128i. Everything you said has happen to me. I changed coils, plugs and then injectors. My misfire finally gone once injectors were changed.
Lol the story in the beginning is classic
In other words "You riding around trying to flex like you that nigga and your shit breaks down"!
This very same shit just happened to me, then too click the video the way it came on in the beginning tho🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that shit was CLASSIC!!!
I replace sparkplug and coils!
And still have problem misfire only if is cold weather
@@nmlindon20 same thing with my X3 F25. Did you find a fix?
Thanks for the info bro.. my 750li just popped up with a drivetrain malfunction and I’ve been worried crazy. Your explanation helped a lot, the only thing left now is the cost of fixing it lol.
Did you get it fixed if so what was it?
Thank you so much for making this video! I have a peace of mind. I just bought my 2014 BMW 328i from a friend and it was fine for 5 months then I was sitting in my car then it would shake and turn off. I was afraid and spent a lot of money thinking it was the AC because it was in when it happened and it went away when I turned off the AC. I changed the whole AC compressor (wasted a bunch of money) and now I researched it and It might be the spark plugs and I’m glad you confirmed that that might be the problem. Thank you once again!!
Is your friend fix his car and what the problem cuz I have the same problem now
I wish I could hire this guy.
Your video’s always good you get straight to the point and you repeat yourself to make sure they understand you thanks 🙏🏾
So truthful and understanding video. Explains a lot make sense. I have the same problem and I take it to Fields BMW South Orlando worst experience ever Even what wasn't broken on my car they tried to replace and messed up situation worse I go with a malfunction brake light and all of my backlight was out when I take it there they explain it to me that I need to replace all LED lights never had that problem before I take it to them so they try to make you spend more than you really need to get checked out before you take it to any one of those dealers they will cost you more they like to take advantage. Of ignorance people they take advantage if they know you don't understand nothing that cost you more and then they feel like robbing someone to feed their kids is okay .
Thank you, nicely explained. I was driving home from work and had that on my car screen, my heart was pounding. I feel better now, hopefully is not the fuel injector.
Any luck?
@@Jet3ch in my cases, it was the spark plugs- I paid the typical price for all of then. No issues ever since.
@@joeinbloomfield nice, I'm glad. Hopefully its the same for me.
@@joeinbloomfield what plugs did you go with?
@@Jet3ch I took it to the BMW shop, I guess genuine BMW plugs. It has not fail since then. Paid $800. Ouch.
Thank you to your other videos for helping me replace to the spark plugs and ignition coils
Love this. Truly it helps me understand more about what's going on with my 2013 760Li. Thank you.
Same with my 2012 750i. And still oil change shops still say newer bmw still have oil leaking problems
@@vonsauto they do, BMW's V8 has poor valve steam seals that harden with time, loosen, and let oil pass through, increasing oil consumption and nasty oily exhaust smoke.
760Li won't necessarily have the same mechanical issues as the N63 engine used in the 750 and etc. The N74 motor in my experience was more reliable than the N63.
@@invincibearofficial that's correct with the BMW N62 and N63. A method to slow down the process of valve stem seal degradation is to change oil + filter every 8000 - 10000 KM and use high quality oil as well as fuel (for fuel injectors).
Thanks for the comments. My 760li v12 twin turbo is running like a champ now. I just had to update my injectors to the improved injectors.
😂 You’re story on the the beginning made me dump my girlfriend and upgrade my BMW.
ha ha ha ha :-)
good solid data. This guys knows BMW Thanks my friend for trurh
Wow.... That is fascinating. The tech that recently repaired my brother's 2017 320 said pretty much the same thing. He only changed the plugs and the car works just as new again. It is hard to find honest techs.
really is that's why when i do find a honest tech i recommend them and give them a tip for their honestly
The best video that I have seen about this bmw problem, I have one 550i 2011! Congratulations
Were you having that problem also?
Hi Guys, I want to share my experience. I had Drivetrain error on my f07 (BMW 530dxd) 2013 couple of times and the message would disappear after 30 or less seconds. The message appeared for example on the traffic read light (or when just stopping the car). I have OBD2 reader but nothing was logged there. Took my car to the BMW dealer where they could do a proper test. The found that EGR value was not mechanically opened and closed properly. I replaced it and now is fine so far.
P.S: I live in Finland and I trust these guys. They do not “try to steal or cheat” and yes, I do not want to remove EGR or DPF or “Addblue” stuff.
Hi, I think I might have the same issue you did. When you were experiencing this did the car backfire alot please or struggle between 2 and 3rd gear
About the best video that I've seen related with the drive train malfunction on BMW.
Thanks dude 😎
LMAO, that’s how I felt when all my lights came on. The wife wasn’t even a thought lol.
🔥🔥🔥change of spark plugs and coils, change of breather lines 🔥🔥🔥 i have same 🔥🔥🔥 and its ok now 🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀
You’re ready for the stand up scene amigo! Love this opening
My son has a 2013 528i and we took it to BMW for the Drivetrain Malfunction and they gave us an estimate of $16,610.67!!!!!!!
The best mechanic on the internet
I had this problem few months back.. and guess what it was?… no not the spark plugs, not even the lil oil that was on one of the spark plugs, bmw couldn’t even figure it out. They replaced my vanos solenoids.. still wasn’t it. Yall ready for this?? The fix was a $50 Crankcase Vent Valve… luckily when I was putting a temporary hose on the cracked ccv, the new one came in the mail. Put the new one on and erased all faults, car running fine ever since, no more drivetrain malfunction. So moral of the story, the valves in your ccv can get stuck, disrupting the flow in these very sensitive n63 engines..
The drivetrain malfunction mostly occurs when rail pressure sensors are unplugged. Just check around the engine for any unplugged “tubes” or sensors. It fixes the problem all the time.
Saddam Maleek i had this problem in November I changed the coils and plugs and it’s been like new! However today I was on the interstate and changed the car from comfort to sport + and the shit happened again I have no clue what to do smh
Also smells like something is burning
J. Kisart did you figure out the problem ??
KiddFreshStudios no it hasn’t happened again... riding like a new all I did was turn the car off and it went away
I'm going to try this. My malfunction happened this morning I limped it back home and jumped in the e39
Other than spark plugs, coils, and injectors, another big thing that can lead to "drivetrain malfunction", multiple misfires, etc, is the failed turbocharger (the lacking of boost normally at 2.5 bar).
True
This was a very good video this guys knows his stuff
Thank you brother I salute you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Where are you. OMG you are on top of it. Very Good ro hear honesty. Thank you.
Just Say where----me and the beemer will drive to you. Good Honest People still exist.
@@hjordisjones4760 did you get it fixed? What was it?
@@bensonnganga6143 Yes! It was an engine misfire cylinder or something. No issue with transmission.
@@hjordisjones4760 happened to mine yesterday. Still looking for solutions. How much did they charge you?
@@bensonnganga6143 3200
Great content,
Los Angeles needs your company
I love the story set up!! Straight entertainment!🤣🤣lol
Gracias Sr he visto este video unas cuatro veces esque mi carro tiene ese problema y yo no soy mecánico y no tengo dinero asi esque lo boy hacer yo mismo , las bjias primero.
I was told the misfiring on my N63 is being caused by the high pressure fuel sensor. Is this something your shop has experienced?
Great information replaced spark plugs problem fix on my bmw 2012 528i
Did u have a drive train malfucntion message as well i only ask because my 2014 328i is doing the same thing
Me right now I had same problems and when this shit happens to you on the highway the wheel gets stronger and it’s harder to drive the car
my brother your channel very very much and true very very nice 👍 god bless you and everyone i am kamaljit singh fresno california usa 🇺🇸
Thank you compadre. I just got the message on my monitor and I was worried.
The story in the beginning is too accurate smh... i think I'm going to sell at this point🤷🏾♂️😩😩
Your not the only one😂😂😂
Hi thanks for this great video. I have a 14’ BMW435 xi Sport low mileage. This is the first Ive encounter this issue Drivetrain malfunction but also making is making a rattling noise on the left side of the engine,, I did recorded
I have a 2013 528xi at 105k miles. Got this message as soon as I got on the highway, got this drivetrain code and the car shut down. It will not crank at all. I had the battery replaced because a week before I was getting the battery drain code. New battery and still the car will not crank. So frustrating when this is the only vehicle you have to get to working and you can’t even get it to turn on.
Hi. Will faulty Brake Vacuum pump, cause drivetrain malfunction to come On?
Great videos. Do you get old E38 cars in for repairs? I'm wondering about timing chain guide failure signs. My E38 has 184,500 miles and going strong.
This guy is awesome like a John Wick character. Dude you have to say "we removed a couple of dead hookers from the trunk of this 550i and that solved the crank no start issue" lol
The intro had me laughing so I kept watching. Skip to 7:58 if you wanna get to the cause of the issue though
Francisco very helpful love ur content. I have a 2011 550i with just about 100k/miles. Its has been running lean since i bought a couple months ago( also it has the dreaded alternator bracket leak that i didnt no about wen i got it) i just changed sparks to NGK91874 Because burger (jb4) motorsports recomended. I got drivetrain malfuction, i pulled sparks & they had black soot all over so i changed again(@$120 4 8plugs) twice & put new ign.coils in too. Im getting same codes(misfire in 1&3 cylinders) + drivetrain message???? Cant figure out can u help????
That’s what actually happened💯
Driving down the highway, never had check engine light. All the sudden when I slowed down with traffic, car started shaking and got the drivetrain message and a flashing check engine light. Car didn’t want to change gears, it would hard idle shaking bad and turn off when I have it some gas until I got lucky enough to slowly get home. You think spark plugs will fix? You think being late on oil change can do this? 2015 bmw 428i
Change the vanos solenoid and you should be good, That’s what worked for me
I just purchased a 2013 750LIX drive from my ex girlfriend's mother and I already having misfire issues shoes head to add oil to the vehicle And continually charge the battery . I will watch your video on how to replace the spark plugs and start there hopefully they didn't run this engine into the ground and call cylinder wall damage
I just got this on notification. I have a 535i.
Same I was actually driving I got scared 😱 when I saw hand brake light on than I saw engine than abs than esp than the wheel than airbags than seatbelt and it was harder to drive only rpm was moving the speedometer was 0 while I was driving like 50 mph this shit so scary what was your problem ???
@@Ukacip when that happens it’s usually your battery isn’t charging your alternator properly you could have faulty alternator or faulty battery replace and program new battery and should solve the problem happened to my f10
My BMW is having this issue. Took the car to have all brakes changed. Paid like $700. Drive train malfunction used to pop up here and there but now my car stalled. Monday I have a really good mechanic take a look at it. I’m just hoping it’s not a major thing. 😓
I have a 2016 328i GT (it’s SULEV of that matters) and I got a drivetrain malfunction warning and it stopped and wouldn’t come out of park in the middle of a busy intersection of St Petersburg. It took 2 hours to get a tow truck and I got finally it home and the code is P17E3. Thank you so much for your videos! I just watched 2 of them. Would you still recommend starting with spark plus and ignition coils for that fault code? Transmission fluid? Or in your opinion does it mean my transmission is ruined? I expected to get some misfire codes but I only got P17E3. Thank you for any suggestions!
My Brother God bless you.
I have a Question please Iam your subscriber long time. My car is 2013 750i I have code POOBE I change PCV from your video thank you but is not working. The car is going jumping forward and in idle it is rough and what do you think please.
Man thank for your time...thank you
Thanks a lot, great video. My X3 is having this issue, but the drive terrain warning comes only when I come to a stop and the auto start/stops the car and starts again, after this the warning goes off. If I turn auto start off it does not come. Can’t understand what the issue is.
Did you figure out what it was?
@@alejandrocompean5163 Yep it is the battery!
Thanks,I’ve changed mine and it was absolutely the battery
Thanks for the video I’m having that same problem an it sounded an felt real ruff my car was shaking a lot
Try the high PRESSURE fuel pump
This just happened on my F32 M sport coupe. 2015.
Should I take it to dealer?
Thank you 😊 for very useful information
Would the light come on if the car is brand new and you accelerate kinda fast?
This happened back in 2018 it was a 2018 7series. Just wanted to get the lights for the tpms to come off so went for a short drive.
Kinda gave it gas and tried seeing how much ⚽️⚾️🥎🏀🏀s it had.
It pulled nice but it got maybe 2car lengths before I lost power lights came on for drive train and white smoke started coming out of exhausted. Did the engine Crack or something?
Idk but I sure was disappointed how bad those cars are made. I would rather drive a Toyota anyway over a bmw
Hey, my wife’s 2013 bmw 328i xdrive just had that massage, the car turn on for about 3 times but it wouldn’t go more than 1/4 mile and turn off again. We got the car to our house but know the car won’t even turn on, like it wouldn’t not crank at all. What can I do ?
Did you find a solution? This just happened today, i have a 2016 320i .. I went to the store, came out started my car and that message came up. I managed to get the car home now it won’t start at all. Im not a or girl so this video confused me a little.
This notice keeps popping up on my mini after it was in the BMW garage for a recall on the DDE (or something). A free update. My car is fully serviced and maintained and had been ok until then. I have even had a fuel leak after the update. When I queried what the garage had done to my car the garage said they had just plugged it into the computer! Im not convinced!
can i say, your matter-of-fact way of splaining things is awesome. your accent is sexy too! Im here looking for info on a 2011 528i that i want to buy. i cant find what im looking for, but i just subscribed to your channel. thanks buddy!
I just got my car serviced and I got my spark plug changed. There’s a funny noise coming from the glove compartment. The car won’t start only when I jump start it and only for a few minutes. It’s also the Tyre pressure system isn’t malfunctioned and driver stablization is not working
Haven’t changed the spark plugs on it since I bought it at 40,000 miles and it now has 150,000 miles. Is that the reason I get the drive tran malfunction it won’t take off now and check engine light is now on.
Mine too. Drivetrain malfunction is on and it won't go to park and it won't move.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I actually had this problem three times. Can this message comes up if the battery is not good? The car stays sometimes two or three weeks in the garage... since I permanently charge the battery. I did not get the message again.
I had my bmw set for like 4 months and I started tried to start it up and the battery is dead and the code came out too
I have a 2016 528i. I experienced this problem yesterday. I pulled out merging into traffic when the message popped up. After stopping and trying to restart the car shook and stalled. I got it home let it sit overnight and after doing research i cleaned the MAF, did a system restart and poof the engine started and ran fine but with the CE light on. Autozone pulled the codes for High pressure fuel pump , lean fuel, misfire #2 and #4. Weird because the car is running smoothly. Cleared the codes and 100 miles later no check engine lights or drivetrain warnings. I did get a new valve cover kit installed ,new plugs and air filter. I did not replace the coils. Did it just need the reboot ? deciding what to do next.
I got a Drivetrain malfunction message for my 2011 535i, So you suggest having spark plugs replaced first and see if that works. And the coils and ignition if that does not fix the problem? Like you said in the video, my independent shop is going to most likely suggest the job that pays them the most.
It is better to use the scanner to check the fault code of this problem to see the actual reason why the drivetrain malfunction is active
I have a 2010 BMW 750i xDrive and it is rough idling, misfiring, loss of power etc.. I changed coils spark plugs and high pressure fuel pump and car still misfiring I was told it was on limp mode how do I take it out of limp mode
I have a 2013 Bmw 535i M sports; However, this morning while I was driving my vehicle and that identical message displayed on my car. While I was in the light the vehicle didn’t want it to go but after a few seconds the car returned back to normal once the message came off. I noticed this problem started to happen after I installed a race chip, burger tuning BMS air intake, and aluminum charger pipe. I’m always keep the maintenance of my car on point so I am a bit worried. I guess I put new spark plugs as you recommend and hopefully this fix my problem. Thank you.
After new spark plugs were you able to fix
Yeah. Did it work?
so did it work broo?
I need to know too
I had same warning - I had spark plugs done , then injectors $3000+ , PCV hoses , throttle body , map sensor & now they are saying there is tiny pin holes in the intake manifold left side.
BMW claiming it’s due to racing chip - install modification.but it seems we are all Having the same issues . With Malfunction & limp mode issues .
I had this issue and took it to dealer. It was a small vacuum leak off one of my turbos. Easy fix. 2012 550xi
Excellent.thank you.
Have had this problem on going. We change out coils and fuel filter and car drives good for couple hundred miles. Then fails again. Now replacing the injectors. We will see how that goes.
The story in the beginning "successful in life...LOL"
so do you suggest injector cleaner?.. my cars a diesel so it wont have spark plugs
My mechanic is saying I need new fuel injector and spark plugs nothing about the coils though ???
Just had that problem or readout in my 2014 750LXI. Same read out but I was seeing gray smoke coming from the exhaust? Still should I change sparkplugs first?
Well said and explained!!!
Thank you very informative
Hello brother I don’t have a girlfriend but I do have a broken 2013 BMW 328 I xdrive . I’m receiving po52b after changing timing chain and also I’m receiving drivetrain issue, any idea?!
I used to have this problem in my F02, turning the engine off and lock the car with remote, wait 5 minutes the problem is solved, wait until it happens again and do the same procedure! still not sure why! i think it was low system voltage
Great video. Thanks my guy
2012 650i xdrive I’ve replaced coils and spark plugs fires up sluggish but idles good for the first few seconds then it idles like it’s misfire’s. Only code I’m getting is C0700. Nothing else even if I erase and rescan. Should I just let it completely warm up? I feel as if one of my catalytic converter is out just based off how one of the exhaust sounds and at 2500rpm it like dies out some.
Thanks you helped me out a lot!!👍🏾
Thanks for helping us!!
Follow up.. I have the same problem and I did not change it now. I have a sound with a plug or reels.. Can you explain what can develop in the delay of maintenance from an increase in problems
🖖🏻💚🇸🇦💐
Great video sir. Thank you
Great storyline 😂😂😂😂😂
Very informative video
very well explained
Great job jefe, great content
Very knowledgeable thank you
so glad to find your channel 🙏
Hey Jasmin whats your Ig?
Very good amigo!!!! Any a/c video coming up ??? My a/c stops blowing cold air after after I start driving
It may be that your air filter needs to be replaced.
Same happened to mine, but only twice and for a brief moment. But I still feel the loss in power and feel it struggles to switch gears sometime. Even if the drive train notice doesn't come. Can I come to you, are you located in London?
Did u ever find out what it was
Code 400401?? Ratio monitoring clutch A??
Does this mean my transmission is done? Should I do transmission flush? How do I fix it? What needs to be repaired ?
