I was driving my 2012 X5 on I-65 yesterday on my way back from Birmingham to Mobile. I was about 30 miles from home, doing about 80 when I passed a truck and got back in the right lane. Just as I got over, the engine malfunction warning came on and my speed went from 80 to 45 in about 1/2 second! Scared the daylights out of me and my 9 year old. The truck I just passed had to swerve to keep from hitting me. I pulled right off and called my husband. He told me to turn engine off and restart. Didn't work first time but I did it again for about 10 minutes and it restarted and acted normal. I took back roads home as to avoid a very long and extremely tall bridge just before Mobile. Took it to BMW today and they said there were two faulty fuel injectors and had to order new ones. Has anyone heard of such drastic reduction in speed and what are the chances the other injectors may fail later?
