Engine Malfunction : Low Power
I got this error message today. It is a 2012, 30K miles, X5M, I fill up at shell always, but I have filled up a couple times from a different shell and i noticed that when i fill up there the MPG drops significantly, like from 13MPG to 8-9MPG. I don't drive it hard, every once in a while in M mode. Anyone help? This has got me really worried :/ When this happened i was going about 25, and the car just got really shaky, some weird ringing noises etc...

Same thing happened in my 50i last night, and unfortunately had to drive it 30 miles in that condition. Next available appointment isn't until Tuesday, so I'll report back with what they find..

Take it to the dealer and see what triggered it.. Could be a bunch of things. May even be random as I've seen that happen to a few people on here

I appreciate the responses, you guys helped calm me down a bit. Miles are 31K and about 5.5K are mine. Took it in today and they said blah blah blah they'll look at it by monday.

I have a 2012 and the same thing happened to me last month. Happened after I filled up at a shell station. Turned out to be the fuel injectors and a high pressure fuel pump. Needed spark plugs too as the got fouled. I will never fill up there again. Will stick with mobile.
