In 2017, the problem started occurring - vehicle stall with engine vibration and a drivetrain malfunction. Took it to buds and they said you need to do the water pump, so I did it. I left and it comes on again - a drivetrain malfunction - every time gas press hard it would pop up. Took it back a few times and they say less gas. So I fill it up and go on highway, and the same drivetrain issue, the car starts vibrating. It will only happen on highway when I press gas pedal or it's given gas. Then again, it's the same issue every time I would go on highway.
I was really sick of it. I took it in again and they said they need to change this, they need to change that. It all comes under & wear tear and I’ll have to pay. So I didn’t bother in 2018, I took car home and I would hardly drive it.
Then finally one day it stalls. I went again and told them, and they said, well there is no engine light or sign on. When they would check the stalling of engine, the engine light would be gone so I was pretty much sick of wasting my time. I started driving it every time it would stall I would shut off for few mins and wait and then restart. In 2019 the engine is gone now they said. And the sign that came on was drivetrain again.
Dealership refuses to help me. Even though I have BMW X5 BMW and a i8 BMW 650, I am overall done with BMWs.
