2013 BMW 650I Engine Problems

“I've had several problems with this car, which have been quite disappointing. Drivetrain malfunction light popped up just around 52k miles, it had a rough idle, multiple cylinder misfires and would go limp often. Went to the dealership in kalamazoo, michigan, where they told me after diagnostics they were not sure what the problem was but it could have been the coils/spark plugs. Changed out both of those and it ran good for a couple months. 58k miles, 65kmiles , 70k miles and now 85-90k miles all have had this drivetrain problem. …”

“I was driving and the vehicle started to shaking and vibrating and smoking like hell. Vehicle information displayed stated drive train malfunctions drive moderately. I call up the dealer and they advised me to drive the vehicle to the dealer which was like 2 miles away. When I reach to the dealer location I see smoke coming from the front of the vehicle.

No other issues were discovered through the inspection and repairs. …”

If you were passing or on a busy highway, this could likely lead to a car accident with no ability to avoid it since the car has little to no power. There are scores of complaints online about this for the 650I gran coupe. …”

The cause of the failure was determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. …”
