discussion Should I be worried? Drivetrain malfunction: Continue driving, reduced performance

[DrussTW]

Hi guys

Planning to pull the trigger on a 2018 X3 G01, 72k km. Dealership did diagnostics and one Check Control message is making me nervous:

"Drivetrain malfunction: You can continue driving. No Roadside Assistance required. Reduced engine performance. Have the problem checked by your service centre."

This happened at 44600km, no longer active, and doesn’t appear to have come back since. According to maintenance schedule, nothing was done for this error. A major service was carried out at about 46000km.

Should I be worried?

Nope, that trigger can be lot of reasons even as small as a boost leak somewhere.

From what I googled (take with a pinch of salt) seems that this could just be a false error. If the error did not reappear, don't see an issue
