I just got my car back from BMW after a month of being in the shop. I had the 4x4 and dsc malfunction followed by engine malfunction the second time.

I had this come up right as I was making a quick left to avoid on coming traffic. The reduced power nearly killed my son and I. Like you, I turned off the car and cursed and turned it back on and all was fine again. Drove around for 2 hours and then while in the fast lane on the highway, engine malfunction came up with the reduced power into limp mode again. Car slowed down immediately while going over 110km/h almost killing my son and I a second time. It reduced speed from 110 to 75 in no time.

they said it was the throttle body harness wiring
..

after this incident, I have decided to sell my vehicle. I have had nothing but issues with it since day one of ownership. unfortunate but probably first and last BMW.
